Victor Osimhen has revealed who influenced him to join Galatasaray.
Osimhen agreed to make a loan move to the Turkish side following his failed moves to Chelsea and Al Ahli.

The 25-year-old attacker, who arrived in Turkey on Tuesday morning, was given a heroic welcome by excited fans at the airport.
Upon his arrival, the Nigerian attacker was eager to interact with the fans and get the chants going in the airport’s arrival area.

He also revealed that he can’t wait to link up with former teammate Dries Martens, who will help him settle in Turkey just like he did in Italy.
”Dries is here also; I know he’s going to help me here also, just like he did in Italy. Excited to honest actually,.. i really can’t wait.”

Mertens and Osimhen were teammates at Napoli before the Belgian secured a move to Galatasaray in 2022.
But with Osimhen’s loan move to the Italian giants, both players will be looking to establish a formidable partnership in attack.
