In the aftermath of the crucial derby victory, Osimhen has sent a stern warning to rivals about the marquee duo.
Osimhen sends a message to rivals
In an interview captured by Star Spor, the 25-year-old confidently stated that Galatasaray would triumph over any opponent, regardless of the team.
“I said we would beat Beşiktaş, and we did. We will also beat Tottenham. I love Galatasaray and the fans so much; their support was incredible and helped us secure the three points.
We played well from the first minute to the last against a team with great talent. While I’m pleased with my goal contributions, the team’s victory is what truly matters. We need to maintain this momentum,” said the former LOSC Lille player.
Discussing his partnership with Icardi, Osimhen emphasised the challenge for any defence to break their connection.
“Icardi and I have a great understanding. We train together and I greatly value his experience. It’s an honour to play alongside him. It’s very difficult for any defence to contain us; if they mark me, he can break free, and if they focus on him, I can make my move. They can’t stop us,” concluded the former Wolfsburg star.
According to data courtesy of Fotmob, Osimhen and Icardi have combined for an impressive total of 11 goals in just 10 Super Lig games this season.
