“Gave me hope”- Calenda happy about Victor Osimhen’s start to life at Galatasaray

Victor Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda has express satisfaction over his client’s seamless adjustment to Galatasaray just less than a month after his transfer, Soccernet.ng reports.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray earlier in September after his purported transfer to Chelsea fell through. At the time, the Nigeria international was unhappy about his situation in Napoli and the loan transfer to Galatasaray was a temporary solution for all the parties involved.

Osimhen’s arrival was greeted with a lot of fanfare by Galatasaray fans as many of them lined the streets of the airport upon his arrival.

It was also clear that the 25-year-old was going to be the main man for Galatasaray this season. So far, Osimhen has lived up to the billing, supplying four assists in three appearances for the Lions. And although he has not scored yet, he has had some close shaves.

Meanwhile, Calenda, who is Osimhen’s agent has stated his satisfaction with how quick his client has adjusted to life in Turkey.

“We are aware of how right a choice we made. We were criticized for this choice, but I see that Victor is very happy and feels good at Galatasaray. He tells me that Galatasaray is a very big club. Seeing him this happy again gave me hope,” Calenda said, per Sporx.

Since Osimhen joined Galatasaray, they have not dropped points. As it stands, the Lions look very good to defend their Super Lig title.
