Osimhen salutes Napoli fans
As captured in a video shared on social media by Turkish journalist, Yakub Cinar, the new signing performed the celebratory 'triplets' alongside fans.
The triplets, or 'trio' as it is fondly dubbed, is a salute that players and fans at the Turkish powerhouse often perform to celebrate goals, wins, and titles.
Osimhen, however, appeared to have settled in quite well as he recreated the celebratory gesture alongside the fans who were present to welcome him in an effortless manner.
Galatasaray supporters will be hopeful that, alongside Mauro Icardi and Dries Mertens, the Nigerian forward—who recorded over 85 goal involvements during his four-year stint at Napoli, according to FotMob—will lead the team to another successful season.
The 25-year-old is anticipated to make his debut in the home fixture against Rizespor.
