Victor Osimhen was announced in style by Galatasaray following his season-long loan move to the club on Wednesday.
The Turkish outfit used a sensational video, including a hit song by American artist Usher, to showcase their most recent high-profile acquisition from Nigeria.

“Masquerade with a special guest. Osimhen is here.” the club posted on their official account on X, alongside the video.
Osimhen’s loan move to Galatasaray was preceded by a transfer deadline saga that saw him fail to fulfil his dream of leaving Napoli, which involved Chelsea and Al Ahli.

After attempting to force his way out of the club, which apparently did not materialize, the 25-year-old was banished for Napoli’s team.
Despite the prospect of missing at least three months of club football, Osimhen eventually made a breakthrough when Galatasaray came knocking.
Due to Turkey’s ongoing transfer window, Galatasaray was still able to sign players and offered Victor Osimhen a loan.
Both the Italian team and the desired striker—who would continue to get his high salary from Napoli—accepted the agreement.
On arrival in Turkey, Victor Osimhen was given a heroic welcome, with thousands of fans coming out en masse to receive the current African Player of the Year.
