Victor Osimhen, the 26-year-old Galatasaray striker, has stirred controversy following allegations that he physically assaulted a Turkish journalist.

The incident, reportedly taking place after a UEFA Europa League match, has garnered significant attention, both from fans and the football community.

According to Turkish media outlet Posta, the altercation occurred late Thursday evening when Osimhen and his entourage were leaving an upscale venue in Istanbul.

The journalist, Tolga Bozduman, claimed that Osimhen reacted aggressively after being approached by photographers.

“When the camera flashes went off, all hell broke loose,” Bozduman stated.

“Osimhen screamed, lunged at me, and punched me in the head when I tried to protect my camera.”

Bozduman also alleged that Osimhen attempted to bribe him to delete the photos, saying, “Destroy the footage, I’ll give you money.”

When the journalist refused, he claimed Osimhen threatened him, stating, “I’ll destroy you.”


In response to the allegations, Osimhen posted a cryptic video on his Instagram story.

The post featured Ghanaian comedian Akrobeto laughing sarcastically, leaving fans puzzled about its intent.

The lack of a formal statement from Osimhen has only fueled speculation about the incident.

Chelsea are now mathematically out of the Premier League title race.

This follows their 3-0 drubbing in the hands of Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday night.

Liam Rosenior’s men came into the match with 48 points, looking to keep pace with the teams in front of them.

However, Beto opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half, before adding a second after the break.

Chelsea barely threatened Everton and looked flat for most of the game, before Iliman Ndiaye added a third.

The result means the Blues cannot match the 70 points that league leaders Arsenal currently have with seven matches left.

Champions Liverpool are also on the verge of being mathematically ruled out, as they have 49 points.
