Galatasaray are having fun after completing the season-long loan signing of Victor Osimhen and have aimed a dig at one of the clubs who attempted to sign the striker this summer.

Osimhen failed to secure a move away from Napoli before the window closed in the top five European leagues after seeing moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea collapse.

Galatasaray make fun of Chelsea

Galatasaray have secured the signing of Victor Osimhen on loan until the end of the season but with the probability of leaving in January if an offer from a top European club comes in.

Gala have thrown a massive dig at Chelsea on social media after the Turkish champions signed the Premier League club's top target, but fair to them, a Blues fan asked for it.

The Lions shared a meme of passionate Nigerian football fans and eccentric Gala fans coming together after the Super Eagles striker left Napoli for Turkey.

A Chelsea fan replied:

“Osimhen will flop at Galatasaray. He should have signed for CHELSEA because Chelsea is a bigger club.”
