“The greatest football painter” – Football experts hails Victor Osimhen after stunning double against Tottenham

Victor Osimhen’s sensational performance in Galatasaray’s Europa League clash against Tottenham Hotspur has earned him high praise from football expert Zeki Uzundurukan, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Football enthusiasts has described the Super Eagles striker as the greatest football painter he has ever seen after his brace against Ange Postecoglou.

Osimhen scored two magnificent goals in the match, which showcased his exceptional ability to read the game and position himself perfectly.

According to Uzundurukan, the second goal was a prime example of Osimhen’s unique talent on the football pitch.

“Osimhen is the greatest football painter I have ever seen. In the second goal he scored, he took such a position after Mertens’ long cross that he took off as the ball was coming; he hung in the air and stuck the ball into the net. Many goal scorers cannot even muster the courage to score this position. Osimhen has such a goal software in his brain… The software is activated before the ball even reaches him and the scenario of the goal is prepared; all that is left for Osimhen to do is score magnificent goals.” he said.

The 25-year-old striker’s natural instincts and ability to execute under pressure were on full display which added to his growing reputation as one of the most lethal forwards in European football.

Despite his recent loan move from Napoli, Osimhen is clearly thriving at Galatasaray, where he expressed a strong attachment to.

Speaking about his commitment to Galatasaray, Osimhen recently put an end to any speculation regarding a mid-season move away from the club.

“They are talking about January. I am here until the end of the season. I don’t know what Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about after that… We will talk when they tell me. This is a club I really like,” he said.

Osimhen’s performances continue to make waves, with four clubs reportedly keen to trigger his £75 million release clause.
