Osimhen rose highest to head the ball straight into the net to send the home fans into celebration.
The Super Eagles striker ran towards the corner flag and raised Mauro Icardi's shirt, dedicating the goal to the injured player.
AA reports that Icardi, 31, underwent an MRI scan to be diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and damaged meniscus in his right knee and has been ruled out of the 2024/25 season.
Osimhen's goal tally increases
Osimhen takes his tally this season to seven goals and three assists as he continues to impress for the Turkish club.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old remains on the radar of several top clubs as Chelsea and Arsenal continue to monitor his situation.
Reports suggest that Galatasaray are also trying to negotiate a permanent deal for the embattled Napoli striker.
It was further gathered that Napoli chiefs are expected to arrive in Istanbul for another showdown talks over the transfer of the former Lille of France striker.
Osimhen's willing to stay at Galatasaray
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Osimhen made it clear to Galatasaray's hierarchy that he is willing to stay at the club, provided his transfer fee and desired wage demands are met.
While this news may excite both Osimhen’s fans and Galatasaray supporters, it must be noted that, although these demands may seem straightforward, they could prove to be quite challenging for the club to fulfil.
In addition to the transfer fee, which Galatasaray is still struggling to meet, a report from Forza Cimbom detailed that Osimhen is seeking a salary in the region of €20m to consider making any club move permanent.
