Victor Osimhen continued his impressive scoring run in Turkey as Galatasaray recorded a convincing 4–1 victory over Antalyaspor in a Turkish Super Lig fixture played on Saturday night. The Nigerian forward played a key role in the dominant display by the Istanbul-based club, finding the back of the net to register his sixth league goal of the season for the Yellow and Reds. His contribution further highlighted his growing influence since joining the Turkish giants. Osimhen’s goal came in the second half of the encounter, precisely in the 56th minute, following a rapid counter-attacking sequence executed with precision by Galatasaray. The attacking move caught the Antalyaspor defence off guard, allowing the Super Eagles striker to finish calmly and extend his team’s advantage. His strike proved to be Galatasaray’s third goal of the match, effectively putting the game beyond the reach of their opponents and reinforcing the club’s attacking dominance on the night. The goal also underlined Osimhen’s sharp positioning and ability to capitalize on fast transitions during open play. With this latest effort, the Nigeria international continues to make a strong impact in the Turkish Super Lig, contributing decisively to Galatasaray’s campaign as the season progresses. His consistent goal output remains a significant boost for the team as they push for positive league results.
Nigerian striker David Okereke is on the verge of completing a permanent switch to Turkish Süper Lig newcomers, Kocaelispor. According to reports, the 26-year-old forward has reached personal terms with the promoted club ahead of the upcoming 2025/2026 campaign. Okereke, who was on loan last season at Gaziantep FK, also a Turkish top-flight club, had joined them from Serie B team, Cremonese. During his time at Gaziantep, the pacey attacker made 30 league appearances, contributing 10 goals and three assists, showcasing impressive attacking prowess. The technical director of Kocaelispor, Selçuk İnan, who previously worked closely with Okereke at Gaziantep, is said to be instrumental in pushing for the deal to be finalized. Meanwhile, Kasimpasa has also expressed interest in signing the talented Nigerian forward, setting up a potential transfer tussle in the Turkish transfer market.
