Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen is set to make his highly anticipated debut for Galatasaray when they take on Caykur Rizespor at the RAMS Park in Istanbul today. Osimhen, who joined the Turkish Super Lig champions on a season-long loan from Napoli two weeks ago, will be looking to make an immediate impact for his new club.
The 25-year-old striker trained with his Galatasaray teammates for the first time on Thursday, following his return from international duty with Nigeria. Osimhen recently showcased his talent during Nigeria’s 3-0 victory over Benin Republic, where he found the back of the net, further underlining his status as a top forward.
With his debut on the horizon, Osimhen will be eager to hit the ground running in Turkey, as he aims to cement his reputation as one of the world’s top strikers. His performance at Galatasaray will be closely watched as he seeks to replicate the form that made him a standout player during his time at Napoli.
Galatasaray currently sits second in the Super Lig standings with nine points from three matches, and a victory over Rizespor would help maintain their strong start to the season. In contrast, Rizespor is in 12th place with four points from four matches, making today’s clash a crucial one for both sides.
All eyes will be on Osimhen as he steps onto the pitch, with fans and pundits alike eager to see how the Nigerian forward fares in his new environment.
