Emre Bol speaks on Osimhen
The Turkish journalist highlighted that the key difference between Galatasaray and second-placed Fenerbahçe lies in their goal scorers.
Speaking to media outlet Habersarikirmizi, Emre Bol said:
"Osimhen’s performances are so outstanding that we call him 'Terminator,' 'monster.' Osimhen is a complete forward! He has every quality you could want. This guy is the embodiment of excellence."
He added: "There are only two players like this in the world—Haaland and Osimhen. No one else compares. The others are just centre-forwards; these two are special."
Emre’s high praise for Osimhen seems justified, as the Nigerian striker is currently one of the most in-form centre-forwards in world football.
The former VfL Wolfsburg star recently helped Galatasaray achieve a historic milestone with a victory over Bodrumspor.
Having made a promise to the fans of his Istanbul club, Osimhen will now aim to continue his remarkable form with another victory for Galatasaray against Eyüpspor.
