Victor Osimhen continues to dominate headlines following reports of his transfer to Galatasaray.

The Nigerian forward, who was at the centre of a hard-fought transfer saga throughout the summer, attracted interest from both Chelsea and Saudi Professional League club, Al Ahli.

According to a report from media outlet, Corriere dello Sport, the 25-year-old’s transfer to the Turkish powerhouse will be a dry loan, with Galatasaray fully covering his wages.
