Victor Osimhen sets personal best with record-breaking season at Galatasaray

African forwards dominate Turkish Super Lig’s top salary rankings

Victor Osimhen etched his name deeper into Galatasaray’s history books on Saturday after netting twice in a commanding performance against Sivasspor, taking his season tally to a career-high 33 goals in all competitions.

The Nigerian striker, who joined the Turkish giants following a prolific spell at Napoli, wasted no time in stamping his authority on the match.

His brace not only helped secure victory for Galatasaray but also saw him surpass his previous personal best of 31 goals set during the 2022–23 season in Italy.

At just 26, Osimhen has been in devastating form throughout the campaign, consistently delivering when it matters most.

Saturday’s goals were not just a display of his clinical finishing but also symbolic of a player operating at the peak of his powers.

With the season still in progress, Osimhen has the opportunity to stretch that record even further, adding yet more weight to what has already been an extraordinary individual campaign.

His performances have drawn plaudits not only from fans in Istanbul but across Europe, where his relentless drive and sharp instincts have made him one of the continent’s most feared forwards.

Two years ago, Osimhen’s 31-goal haul with Napoli helped power the club to Serie A glory and won him the Capocannoniere title.

Now, in a different league but with the same ruthless edge, he has elevated his game once again under the Galatasaray banner, showing adaptability and a hunger for success that few can match.

The Nigerian international’s influence has been central to Galatasaray’s title charge this season.

Whether through his hold-up play, movement off the ball, or instinctive finishes, Osimhen has been a constant menace to defences across Turkey and Europe.

His contributions have provided the cutting edge in a side already brimming with talent, pushing the club closer to domestic honours.

As the campaign heads toward its climax, Osimhen’s remarkable form could prove decisive in the final stretch.

For now, breaking his own record is another milestone in a career that shows no signs of slowing down.

With more matches to come, Galatasaray supporters will be hoping their star striker continues to deliver — one goal at a time.
