‘We Are Afraid That He Will Get Injured’: Gala President Admits Fear Over Osimhen’s Relentless Training Intensity

Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has spoken in glowing terms about Victor Osimhen, describing the Nigerian striker as the most exciting forward to play for the club since the legendary Metin Oktay.

Osimhen, who arrived in Turkey as the country’s record transfer, has quickly become a source of joy for the Galatasaray community with his performances, attracting interest from major European clubs.

Quoted by Galatasaray reporter Yakup Çınar, Özbek admitted that the club even worries about Osimhen’s intensity in training.

‘Among the strikers, Victor Osimhen is the player who has ever been to Galatasaray and excites me the most after Metin Oktay,’ he said.

‘We follow Osimhen with admiration, even when he watches him in training. Even there, he performs as if he is at the pace of the match. We are afraid that he will get injured.’

His remarks underline both the admiration and concern surrounding Osimhen’s relentless style, which has already made him a fan favorite and a central figure in Galatasaray’s ambitions.
