Victor Osimhen has to end the season on a high with Galatasaray
The race for the Turkish Super Lig title is heating up, as Mourinho Fenerbahce are not showing any signs of slowing down. They and Galatasaray are in good form because they know that any slip-up could be detrimental to their ambitions.
Victor Osimhen has only won one major league title in his career. And since this will likely be his only season in Istanbul, he would be hungry to add one more silverware to his kitty.
With about 10 games left until the end of the season, he will look to continue supplying the goals to fuel his team's ambition and hope that the tide swings their way.
