Victor Osimhen has earned a new admirer after a former Galatasaray player admitted he would love to play with the Nigerian following his overhead kick goal at the weekend.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan move in the summer after Napoli froze him out of the squad following his failure to secure a move away from the club.

He is settling in nicely with the Turkish champions. He has scored three goals and provided four further assists for his teammates, including a ridiculous overhead kick goal against Antalyaspor.

Former Galatasaray winger Kerem Aktürkoğlu has applauded Osimhen's overhead kick goal and professed his desire to play with the former Napoli forward.

“Victor Osimhen’s goal is really good, there is nothing to say. I was surprised like you, he is a great player. Of course, I would like to play with such a great player, but I don’t need it. Yunus is putting on a show, he will be better,” he said in an online Q&A with Kick, as quoted by HT Spor.

Their paths could have crossed, but the Lions sold the Turkish international winger to Portuguese club Benfica for €12 million before Osimhen arrived.

As noted by Transfermarkt, Aktürkoğlu was an important player for the Turkish champions before he left, scoring 42 goals and providing 46 assists in 179 games.
