Victor Osimhen has voiced his elation after playing a pivotal role in Galatasaray’s Turkish Super Lig title triumph, sealed with a resounding 3-0 victory over Kayserispor on Sunday.
The Nigerian striker, who opened the scoring in the decisive match, hailed the achievement as “historic” for the club.

Osimhen’s contribution has been instrumental throughout Galatasaray’s dominant season, which has seen them remarkably secure both the league championship and the Turkish Cup within a mere five-day span.
The 26-year-old has now amassed an impressive 25 league goals this season, recently surpassing the record for the most goals scored by a foreign player in a single Turkish league campaign.
Speaking to broadcasters in the aftermath of the title-clinching win, an emotional Osimhen shared his joy: “I feel very happy. It is incredible to take part in Galatasaray’s history and reach the fifth star. We have two matches left. We will look to have fun. I am enjoying the moment at the moment. I am not thinking about my future.”
Galatasaray’s victory on Sunday propelled them to an unassailable 89 points, securing their landmark 25th Super Lig title.
This triumph carries extra significance for the club, symbolized by the addition of a coveted fifth star to their badge, with each star representing five league championships.
Osimhen, currently on loan from Napoli, has swiftly become a beloved figure among Galatasaray supporters.
His consistent goal-scoring prowess, coupled with his unselfish team spirit – exemplified by his gesture of allowing veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera to take a late penalty in what could be his final season – has made him a standout performer in the squad.
Despite ongoing speculation surrounding his future beyond his loan spell, Osimhen remains firmly focused on savoring the final moments of a truly memorable season with Galatasaray, deliberately sidestepping any discussions about his next career move.
