Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen sealed a permanent move to Galatasaray this summer from Napoli, but could be joined by another of his Nigerian teammates at RAMS Park, Soccernet.ng reports.

Osimhen scored 37 goals and provided seven assists across all competitions for Okan Buruk’s side last season, winning two domestic titles with the CimBom Aslan, alongside the league’s golden boot.

Unsurprisingly, his success during the initial loan spell has convinced another Super Eagles star to head to Istanbul.

As per Turkish outlet Fanatik, Galatasaray are not done in the transfer market after securing the services of Wilfred Singo from Monaco.

The Turkish Champions have already reached an agreement with Club Brugge midfielder Onyedika ahead of a transfer this summer after they failed in their pursuit of Tottenham’s Yves Bissouma.

According to the report, the 24-year-old midfielder has accepted Galatasaray’s offer, and the club has begun talks with Club Brugge over a potential transfer.

Onyedika can play across several positions in the middle of the park, and helped Brugge seal a Champions League place as they secured an aggregate 9-1 win over Rangers.

Club Brugge is said to have demanded 25 million euros for Onyedika, while Galatasaray plans to finish the transfer with a two-stage offer.

Okan Buruk’s side instead submitted a loan offer of €5m, including a mandatory purchase option of €15m to be paid at the end of next season.

An agreement is expected to be reached in the coming hours, and the transfer can be completed before the start of next week. In the meantime, Onyedika has expressed his desire to wear the Galatasaray jersey.
