Nigerian midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo has praised his fellow countryman, Victor Osimhen, for his exceptional abilities and recognized him as one of the best strikers in world football.
Osimhen, who moved to Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray last September, has enjoyed a remarkable start to his time in Turkey.
In just 22 appearances across all competitions, the 25-year-old has netted 17 goals and contributed five assists, showcasing his clinical finishing and key role in the team’s offensive play.
In a statement to Milliyet, Etebo expressed his admiration for Osimhen’s decision to join the Istanbul-based club, emphasizing the striker’s exceptional talent.
“Osimhen is one of the best strikers in the world. I think the football community also accepts him. He made a good choice by coming to Galatasaray,” said Etebo.
Etebo, who has played alongside Osimhen for the Nigerian national team, highlighted his compatriot’s dedication and relentless work ethic on the field.
“Victor is a very motivated player,” Etebo added. “He is always ready to give his best for his team, and that’s one of the reasons why he continues to achieve great things.”
Looking ahead, Etebo expressed confidence in Osimhen’s continued success, believing that his teammate will maintain his impressive form and achieve even greater milestones in the future.
“I am sure Victor will keep scoring goals and accomplishing remarkable things in his career,” Etebo stated, reinforcing his faith in Osimhen’s potential.
Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray has proven to be a highly successful one so far, with the forward rapidly becoming a key figure at the club.
His performances continue to cement his reputation as one of the most talented strikers of his generation, and both his club and country are hopeful that his current momentum will propel him to even greater heights in the years to come.
