‘I Wouldn’t Let Anyone Decide For Me’, Osimhen On Napoli’s Exit

Super Eagles‘ striker Victor Osimhen has revealed that joining Turkish club, Galatasaray in a late summer move was his decision.

Speaking to Turkish media, TRT Spor, Osimhen, 25, disclosed that he could have stayed at Napoli amid the challenges, however, he made a decision favourable to him.

“I had plans to stay there and wait for three or four months, and leave in January, but I think for me, it was fair also to stay there because I wouldn’t let anyone decide for me,” he said.

The Nigerian international stated that he eventually joined Galatasaray because the manager, Okan Buruk was able to convince him via the phone.

“When I received the call from the Galatasaray coach, it was really convincing.

“He said what he wanted to do this season, and what he wanted to achieve. I could see what he had set for himself as a man, a coach, and a father,” he noted.

The former Lille player emphasised that he believes in the project, adding that the squad is perfect for him with the quality of players available.

“I think I fit in this plan, and coming to a team with already a lot of quality players with great ambition, as a footballer it was easy to come.”

Osimhen has scored two goals thus far for Buruk’s side, and is currently out injured.
