Victor Osimhen’s meteoric rise continues to attract accolades from football legends, with former Galatasaray forward Burak Yılmaz sharing his thoughts on why the Nigerian striker is a class above the Turkish Süper Lig.

Speaking with TRT Spor, Yılmaz didn’t hold back in his praise for the 25-year-old forward, emphasizing Osimhen’s exceptional qualities. “Victor Osimhen is a very high-level football player with his athletic structure and physical genetics. He is a European centre forward and one of the top 5-6 centre forwards in the world,” Yılmaz stated.

Since his arrival, Osimhen has taken the league by storm. With two goals and two assists in just three games, he has proven to be a game-changer. This record makes him the first Galatasaray player since Bafetimbi Gomis in 2017 to achieve three goal involvements in his opening three matches, cementing his place as a player to watch.

Burak Yılmaz further highlighted how Osimhen’s talents exceed the expectations of the Süper Lig, suggesting that he belongs in one of Europe’s elite leagues. “There are many top-level teams following Osimhen closely. Victor Osimhen is currently a player above the Turkish League in terms of physical appearance, he should not be harmed,” Yılmaz remarked.

Osimhen’s ability to combine physical dominance with clinical finishing has set him apart, not just in Turkey but across the global football stage. His performances have made him a target for several elite European clubs, further proving Yılmaz’s point.

The Nigerian forward has not only raised the standards of Galatasaray but also elevated the competitiveness of the Süper Lig. His journey continues to inspire young players across Africa and the world, demonstrating that talent, hard work, and determination can lead to greatness.

Victor Osimhen is not just a striker for Galatasaray; he is a force that demands the attention of football’s biggest stages.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
