Nigerian football sensation Victor Osimhen was recently honored in Istanbul during a high-profile meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, celebrating Galatasaray’s spectacular 2024/25 season.
The event, organized to commemorate Galatasaray’s victories in both the Turkish Süper Lig and the Turkish Cup, highlighted the club’s domestic dominance — a feat made possible in no small part by Osimhen’s stellar performances on the pitch.
With 36 goals and 8 assists in just 40 appearances, Osimhen played a defining role in Galatasaray’s double-title run, earning him widespread praise and adoration from fans and football experts alike.
During the ceremony, President Erdoğan personally presented the 25-year-old striker with a special Galatasaray jersey bearing his name and the number 45, symbolizing the deep appreciation for his contributions and the growing legacy he has established within Turkish football.
The gesture not only marked a moment of pride for Osimhen but also underscored the strong bond between the Nigerian star and his club, as well as his burgeoning connection to Turkey as a whole.
Osimhen’s presence at Galatasaray has already proven transformative, and with such performances, his legacy in the Süper Lig continues to grow — both on and off the field.
