VIDEO: Victor Osimhen welcomed with cheers by Galatasaray fans upon arrival

Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen received a hero’s welcome as he arrived in Istanbul to join Turkish giants Galatasaray.
The Super Eagles striker, who has been the subject of intense transfer speculation throughout the summer, was met with resounding cheers from Galatasaray fans eager to see their new signing in action.
Osimhen’s arrival marks a significant moment for the Istanbul-based club, which has been working tirelessly to secure the services of the prolific forward. The fans, who had gathered in large numbers at the airport and outside the team’s facilities, chanted Osimhen’s name and waved club scarves and banners in a display of excitement and anticipation.

The 25-year-old forward, known for his clinical finishing and powerful playstyle, was visibly moved by the warm reception. He waved to the crowd and smiled as he made his way through the throngs of supporters, signaling his readiness to begin a new chapter in his career with Galatasaray.
Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray comes after a turbulent period with his former club, Napoli, where he experienced a strained relationship following a controversial social media incident. Despite interest from several top European clubs, including Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli, the Nigerian international ultimately chose to continue his career in Turkey.
Galatasaray fans have every reason to be excited about their new signing. Osimhen’s arrival is expected to bolster the club’s attacking options, especially with the recent injury to Mauro Icardi, another key forward in the squad. The addition of Osimhen could also see Galatasaray make a tactical shift, potentially pairing the Nigerian with Icardi once the Argentine returns to full fitness.
As Osimhen prepares to don the Galatasaray jersey, the club’s supporters are hopeful that his presence will help propel the team to new heights in both domestic and European competitions. The cheers that greeted his arrival are just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting journey for both the player and the fans.
With the Turkish Super Lig already underway, all eyes will now be on Osimhen to see how quickly he can make an impact in his new surroundings. If the enthusiastic reception is anything to go by, Galatasaray supporters are confident that their latest acquisition will soon become a fan favorite at the Türk Telekom Stadium.
