Victor Osimhen scored twice on Wednesday night to break Turkish football’s single-season record for most goals by a foreign player and help the Istanbul giants lift the Turkish Cup with a 3-0 win over Trabzonspor, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The Nigerian striker entered the final with 33 goals and needed two more to sur the 34-goal mark set by Mario Jardel in the 2000/01 season.

He did just that, netting in the 46th and 63rd minutes to reach 35 goals in all competitions and lead Galatasaray to their 19th Turkish Cup title, a national record.

Baris Yilmaz had opened the scoring for Galatasaray early in the fifth minute after a clever from Yunus Akgun.

But it was Osimhen’s night. His first goal came just after the restart, a powerful low shot from the edge of the box into the bottom right corner.

His second was even more emphatic, a sharp turn inside the area and a curling effort into the top corner.

He has now also moved up the club’s all-time foreign goalscorers list, with 35 goals in 38 appearances, overtaking Brazil’s Mario Jardel.

Only seven other foreign players have scored more goals for Galatasaray, with Romania’s Gheorghe Hagi still leading the chart with 72.

Galatasaray can complete the domestic double with a win over Kayserispor on Sunday, which would secure their 25th league title. It would be the club’s fourth double in history, having last achieved the feat in the 1998–99 season.

Chelsea no fit pay his salary! How much Palmer dey collect weekly? The highest paid in Chelsea is even Reece James!!

This is the Hottest Striker in the World at the Moment.

I for say make him come Man U but that my club go just waste him life.



All the very best World Best Osimhen

Even though he won’t win the African footballer of the year, he has made a mark and increased his volume with his outstanding feat this season.

Osiboy.
The way this guy is going, if he should spend two more years in Turkey, he would shatter the whole Turkish league records.
Na thunder from maiduguri go fire those Chelsea owners and that maresca abi na wetin be he name for not doing everything to sign this guy when we had the opportunity to. Now we are stuck with that good for nothing Jackson.
That's why I love my Roman abramovic. He does not mess around when he wants something. For inside owners, owners dey.

The goal machine

Dunno why Arteta and the arsenal hierarchy are not interested in VO, with the enormous amount of convertible chances arsenal players like Saka, Rice and Ordegard creates at arsenal he will easily hit 30 plus goals if they sign him and coupled with the fact that he is a childhood arsenal fan. There is also the odd chance that RM may consider him and ship away Rodrigo paving way for vicious, osihmen and Mbappe attacking line and boy that will be fearsome.

Congratulations to him

Hakimi if he wins UCL?

I too like this guy...

History will always and would us.

Congrats Bro

Anybody that doubts the existence of an almighty supreme being call him God,call him Allah, call him Chi, call him Olodumare, call him Jehovah, call him Yehushua should look at this boy Victor Oshimen's trajectory.

Leave football first !

Indeed the rejected stone has risen gallantly to become the cornerstone.

This is not just awesome but a miracle.

God bless you Victor Oshimen,

Even your parents in heaven will celebrate you.

Proud to be Nigerian today !!!!

I don't know the metrics you use to arrive on this default outcome! A team like Chelsea can't pay Osimhen? Then what team can do that in England? There is no player Chelsea can't pay and if there is, must definitely it is 100% sure not Osimhen. A team that spent over a billion dollars some form of shit that can revamp over 200 million country economy.

Morata is in that team o. This guy is awesome. He needs two more league goals🤞

Why would Arsenal be interested?

Do they want to win anything?
