Some of Osimhen’s records in Turkey include:

1. Most Goals by a Foreign Player in a Single Season: Osimhen scored 35 goals across all competitions, suring the previous record of 34 goals set by Mario Jardel in the 2000-2001 season. This milestone was achieved with his brace in the Turkish Cup final against Trabzonspor on May 14, 2025.

2. First Foreign Player to Score a Brace in a Turkish Cup Final: Osimhen became the first foreign player in Galatasaray’s history to score twice in a Turkish Cup final, achieving this feat in the 3-0 victory over Trabzonspor on May 14, 2025. His goals helped secure the club’s 19th Turkish Cup title.

3. Personal Best Goal-Scoring Season: Osimhen set a new personal record by scoring 33 goals across all competitions in the 2024-25 season, suring his previous career-high of 31 goals during the 2022-23 season with Napoli. This milestone was reached with a brace against Sivasspor on May 3, 2025.

4. Most Shots in a Single Super Lig Match: On his debut for Galatasaray against Rizespor on September 14, 2024, Osimhen recorded seven shots in a 5-0 win, setting a record for the most shots in a single Super Lig match during the 2024-25 season. This performance highlighted his immediate impact and attacking prowess.

Osimhen’s week.
He shines in every league he finds himself.
His value will be determined by how much they will pay for his services and which club he chose amongst the interested offers presented to him

Maybe next season. For now it’s either Salah or Hakimi.

Nigerians are just talented abeg. It's in our blood. It seems to me there is something holding us Nigerians in Nigeria until we find themselves outside the country. With all the star studded players we have playing in Europe, we come back home and can't have a coordinated team so much so that we are always struggling to qualify for world cup. Fire on Osimen. Better days ahead. I wonder what Chelsea was thinking

Osimhen is the best striker Chelsea needs to sign. I just hope they will sign him now. I see him as the new Didier Drogba

When English teams are pricing him like he's Akara. If they're not ready to pay for his worth , he should remain in Gala joor.

We follow the money
