Osimhen’s Message to the Fans

Galatasaray has officially signed Victor Osimhen, and the Nigerian striker gave his first statements to the club’s channel.

Osimhen said, “When I heard about Galatasaray’s interest, it was an easy decision for me. I knew how big and family-like the club is. They have incredible fans. My friend Henry Onyekuru, an ex-Galatasaray player, had already told me how great the club and the fans are. So it was an easy decision. People came to welcome me at the airport, which is important for a player. They welcomed me with such enthusiasm that it made me very happy. I want to do everything I can for them. I’m eagerly waiting for my first match and I’m very excited about this project.”

The star striker expressed his happiness about reuniting with Mertens, saying, “When I first went to Italy, he supported me a lot. He was like a big brother to me, always by my side. He’s someone I respect a lot. I’m very excited to be teammates again here. I also can’t wait to meet my other teammates.”

“I was already watching Galatasaray matches. Since Mertens came here, I wanted to see how he played, how he developed as a person and as a player. The interactions with the fans when they scored or won were very exciting. Now I hope our fans will support me in the same way.”

MESSAGE TO GALATASARAY FANS
