Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has been described as a world-class centre forward and one of the best five strikers in the World.
Former Galatasaray right back Przemyslaw Frankowski who made the submission, placed the ex-Napoli forward at the top of Europe’s elite finishers after a campaign that saw him become the highest-scoring Nigerian in the UEFA Champions League.
Osimhen enjoyed another outstanding campaign in Turkey last season, helping Galatasaray secure the Turkish Super Lig title, scoring 22 goals and providing six assists in 33 games across all competitions for Okan Buruk’s side.
Speaking to Polish outlet Onet, Frankowski reflected on his time at Galatasaray and reserved special praise for the Nigerian international.
“Galatasaray is a huge and fantastic club that can create an atmosphere that is difficult to describe.
“I had a great time there, winning the league title and the Turkish Cup,” Frankowski said in quotes revealed by Fanatik.
“I’m playing on loan at Rennes until June 2027, and I’m 100% focused on that right now. But we know that in football, everything can change at once.”
“You’re going into the locker room at Galatasaray, and you’re thinking, “Wow, I’ve been watching these guys on TV until yesterday, and now we’re playing on the same team.”
“The first thing that caught my attention was that they all had incredible confidence in their own talents.
“You could feel that trust. But there were constant smiles, laughter, jokes in the environment; everyone was comfortable, there was no unnecessary tension.”
Although the Polish international focused primarily on his Galatasaray experience, he highlighted his admiration for Osimhen, with the defender describing the Nigerian as one of the best players he has shared a dressing room with.
“Victor Osimhen, a world-class centre forward, he is perhaps one of the best five forwards in the world,” the 31-year-old continued.
“It really amazes how well he is always prepared for the games and his endless ambition for scoring goals. I can talk about each of them [Galatasaray players] for hours.”
The 27-year-old has consistently delivered goals across multiple leagues, having impressed in Belgium, France, Italy and now Turkey.
