SUPER Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is eager to score his first goal for Galatasaray although he believes has his assists have been key for Galatasaray.
The reigning African Player of the Year is yet to get off the mark since joining Galatasaray on loan from Napoli early this month, but he has had an assist in all his three appearances for the Turkish giants, and they have won all the games.
His latest assist was last night in the 3-1 UEFA Europa League victory over PAOK.
The Nigeria international suggested that the Turkish Super Lig is tougher than how people perceive it.
“In the Turkish league, they play with high intensity. I think it is also a difficult one. It is important for me to come into the team where they are full of quality to try to help the team,” Osimhen explained in an interview with CBS Sports after the win over PAOK.
“Of course, I’m still looking forward to having my first goal, but my contribution so far for the team has been helpful and decisive.
“So for me, it is important to start with. Today’s game as well, bigger respect to PAOK for their resilience. They gave us a tough time and we deserved this win and I’m happy we got it.”
Osimhen, 25, arrived in Turkey with a big goal-scoring reputation, having registered 76 goals and 18 assists in 133 appearances at Napoli.
