Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has pledged to guide Galatasaray to UEFA Europa League triumph, marking a bold ambition for the Turkish club.
During a thrilling Europa League clash on Thursday night, November 28, Osimhen dazzled with a remarkable goal in a tightly contested 1-1 draw against Dutch side AZ Alkmaar. The strike was his third in two consecutive matches, showcasing his rising form and impact in European football.
“I said I would score a goal, and I did. Now, I make another promise: I will bring the UEFA Cup to Turkey,” Osimhen declared confidently after the game. The 25-year-old, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has quickly become a key player for the Turkish giants.
Despite the draw, Osimhen expressed satisfaction with his team’s effort. “It feels good to score, but we left with just one point. Still, we must keep pushing forward,” he said.
Acknowledging the challenges posed by a demanding schedule, Osimhen commended his teammates’ resilience, noting their ability to remain unbeaten in Europe. “Our performance was commendable, especially given the mental and physical fatigue from a game just four days ago,” he added.
With Osimhen’s form and determination, Galatasaray’s Europa League campaign looks increasingly promising.
