Nihat Kahveci, a former Besiktas forward, mocked Victor Osimhen after Galatasaray’s 3-2 win over Samsunspor at Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi RAMS Park.
The reigning African Footballer of the Year continued to impress by scoring two headed goals, raising his season tally to eight goals in just nine appearances.
Napoli loanee also set a new record — becoming the first player to score or assist in all of his first six Turkish Super Lig matches since 2014-15 when Opta started tracking this data.
Dedication to Icardi and Praise for Team Synergy
Osimhen scored and held up Mauro Icardi’s jersey in a touching tribute to his injured teammate, out for the season.
Kahveci noted Osimhen’s effect on Galatasaray’s attack, saying on Kontraspor’s YouTube channel, via Fanatik: It’s a lie: Osimhen looks like a single striker.
Kahveci also stated that often other players, like Rolland Sallai, Dries Mertens, and Yunus Akgün, would play with Osimhen up front, giving a dynamic and relentless offensive setup.

Osimhen’s “Magnetic” Impact
Kahveci couldn’t resist joking about Osimhen’s trademark mask and said, ‘They should have a look in the mask. Is there a magnet? Is it attracting the ball?’
‘He is a monster,’ he went on, praising Osimhen not just for his goalscoring but for his contribution all round to Galatasaray play.
Osimhen was also recalled to Nigeria’s national team to face Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda after being absent last month having missed the Olympics with injury.
