Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, PSG and Al Ahli were all linked with the 25-year-old.

Despite being close to sealing a deal, all efforts eventually went south, leaving the striker stuck in Italy.

Galatasaray swoop Osimhen on loan

However, on Monday night, Galatasaray officials approached the forward and eventually, a season-long loan deal was agreed.

Football Italia reports that Osimhen will play for the Turkish champions for just one season, and there is no option to buy in the contract.

Shortly before Galatasaray confirmed the striker's arrival, former Super Eagles striker Ijeh urged Osimhen to win the trust of football fans.

Ijeh told YEN.com.gh:

"Rediscovering himself is essential to win the trust of the club, the fans and soccer industry. He can implore humility as we all know that humility is the bedrock of success.

"Fans will stand up for him. The Nigerian National team is also there for him to resume camp at day one, play like never before and reprove himself as African best."
