DONE DEAL: Victor Osimhen is Officially a Galatasaray Player

Victor Osimhen has officially been announced as a Galatasaray player after completing a permanent transfer from Serie A champions Napoli.

The 26-year-old was met by thousands of excited Galatasaray fans at the airport after he flew into Istanbul to complete his long-awaited transfer.

Galatasaray will pay a Turkish record fee of €75 million for the Nigeria international, who had a remarkably successful loan spell at the club last season.

Osimhen was a key player for Okan Buruk’s side as they secured their third consecutive Super Lig title, scoring 37 goals and providing seven assists in his 41 games.

“I don’t know how to describe my feelings. I’m so excited, I’ve arrived at the place I love,” Osimhen told journalists when he landed.

“I’m at home and I’m very happy. I’m happy to be back here. I thank the president, the vice president, George Gardi and Okan Buruk. I thank the fans who wanted me.

“I’m happy to continue with Galatasaray. My story continues.”
