The 25-year-old’s immense form also saw him set a new record for the most goal involvements of any player in his first nine games in the history of the Turkish Süper Lig, according to data courtesy of OptaJoe.
The incredible run of performances from the Nigerian striker has recently led to the seemingly surprising admission made by former Beşiktaş star, Nihat Kahveci, about the Nigerian forward.
Former Besiktas star speaks on Osimhen
Kahveci, who was left astonished by the performance of the Super Eagles forward, subtly stated in a joking manner that he believes Osimhen plays as if he has been at Galatasaray for years.
"We really need to look into Osimhen's childhood. I think he was born in Florya. It feels like he's been at Galatasaray for 10 years, and we didn't even know," he said via Haber Sarı Kırmızı.
"Can someone play with such a sense of belonging? The goals he scores, his determination, his celebrations, his comments…"
The expectations for Osimhen have only grown following his impressive start at Galatasaray. It's now anticipated that the Nigerian forward will lead Okan Buruk's side to a league title and possibly a UEFA Europa League victory.
Meanwhile, Osimhen's future remains uncertain, with Napoli expected to approve a permanent transfer for the Nigerian in the summer transfer window.
