Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has heaped praise on his Galatasaray teammate Gabriel Sara following their 2-1 victory over Besiktas, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Brazilian midfielder delivered a pinpoint free kick that set up a decisive header for the former LOSC Lille forward in their recent clash at RAMS Park.
Rising high near the penalty spot, Osimhen powered a header inside the left post, helping to secure Galatasaray’s fourth consecutive win in the Turkish Super League.
After the match, the Nigerian international didn’t hold back his admiration for Sara’s skill, leaving a comment under his social media post and referring to him as a “proper baller.”
Osimhen’s loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray has quickly made him a key figure in the Turkish league, where his dynamic style of play has drawn widespread praise.
Former Besiktas forward Batuhan Karadeniz recently weighed in on Osimhen’s impact, calling him a “scourge to the Super League.”
Karadeniz expressed frustration over Osimhen’s “unfair” ability to dominate both defensively and offensively, even suggesting that the Nigerian be sent back to Napoli.
In just five league appearances, Osimhen has already notched four goals and two assists, including this latest header from Sara’s well-placed free kick.
With Osimhen consistently delivering performances that capture the spotlight, and his teammates providing crucial support, Galatasaray looks well-positioned to continue their impressive league run.
