Former Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira and ex-Wolves star Mario Lemina have sent welcome messages to Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, following his transfer to Galatasaray, Soccernet.ng reports.

Galatasaray ended all speculations surrounding Osimhen on Wednesday, as they confirmed that he is joining them this summer. 

Osimhen’s announcement created a fanfare in Istanbul, the Turkish capital, as hundreds of Galatasaray fans turned up at the airport to welcome him.

As the Galatasaray fans are still welcoming Osimhen to their club, the players are also upbeat about having the Super Eagles star return to them permanently.

Since his time at Napoli, Osimhen has always maintained a great relationship with teammates. Despite just joining Galatasaray last season, he formed strong relationships with his teammates.

Even though he was competing for the starting shirt with Mauro Icardi, he stil said the right things and remained humble.

Victor Osimhen has to do bigger things next season

Last season, Osimhen and Galatasaray raised the bar of the Turkish Super Lig. That has made the other big boys like Fenerbahce and Besiktas pump in more money to better their squad.

Now that his future is in Istanbul, the Super Eagles star has to raise his game and show that he is worth every penny that the club have forked out for him.

Last season, Osimhen contributed 37 goals and eight assists across all competitions for the Lions. He will look to do better next season and help them remain champions of Turkey.
