Reigning Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray have shared pictures of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen in his first training session, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen sealed a move to Galatasaray days after the summer transfer window in the top five European leagues closed. The 25-year-old striker looked like he was destined for a big move in the summer amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Arsenal, but it didn’t work out due to their inability to reach a compromise.
Galatasaray pounced, and it was a win-win for all parties as Napoli freed up Osimhen’s wages and the Nigerian striker gets to play football in a conducive environment.
The deal was completed during the international break. As such, Osimhen was unable to train with his new teammates before joining Nigeria for their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda.
Osimhen got his first training session at Galatasaray on Thursday, and the club shared pictures of him.
