Victor Osimhen, the striker on loan from Napoli, made waves and potentially increased his market value with a standout performance for Galatasaray, netting two goals in a thrilling 3-2 win against Tottenham in the Europa League.
The move to Galatasaray was intended to provide him with consistent playing time and showcase his talents to clubs that had previously been hesitant, especially with his release clause now adjusted from €130 million to €90 million for the January transfer window, and further down to €75 million by June 2025.
It seems the strategy is paying off, as the 25-year-old has already accumulated six goals and four assists in just eight competitive matches, forming a strong partnership with former Napoli teammate Dries Mertens.
In tonight’s match, he made a significant impact by scoring twice in quick succession, helping Galatasaray establish a 3-1 lead over Tottenham in Istanbul.
Nigerian born forward Dominic Solanke later added a stunning back-heel goal to narrow the gap.
