Former Real Sociedad and Turkey forward, Nihat Kahveci, has applauded Victor Osimhen's athleticism following his brilliant goal against Eyüpspor last weekend, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 26-year-old is leading the goalscoring charts in the Turkish Super Lïg this season, scoring 22 goals and providing five assists in 26 league games for Okan Buruk's side.
Osimhen scored a goal and set up another in his side's 5-1 win against Eyüpspor. The Napoli loanee showed his flexibility by bringing the ball down from the air before placing it into the back of the net.

“How high was his foot when he scored in the Eyüpspor game? How do you raise that foot there? If I raise my foot there, I'll be back in crutches for two months after a surgery and four months later, I'll be back in football,” the ex-Turkish International said in quotes revealed by Haber Sariki Mizi.
“Would that be fair? It's unfair, unfair competition in the field. It's something else!
“He deserves four pages in the newspapers. He's a great football player. The league ends, if Galatasaray gets the cup, the name to be written directly is Osimhen. He played unbelievably.
“He took Galatasaray alone on his back, and Galatasaray took the lead with five points thanks to Osimhen. If it weren't for Osimhen, we'd see a whole different painting.
“Osimhen wears a jersey in Galatasaray as if he will never leave, and he shows his performance as if he will leave at any moment. There is nothing like it,” Kahveci concluded.
