Victor Osimhen is not resting on his impressive start to life on a season-long loan at Galatasaray and has begun special training to add a new dimension to his skill sets.

Osimhen is expected to lead the attack in the continued absence of strike partner Mauro Icardi, and the Nigerian may have given away his next move to fans.

As seen in a video shared on Instagram by Galatasaray, the Super Eagles striker is practising free kicks, something he has never scored before in his career.

As noted by Transfermarkt, only five of Osimhen’s goals for Galatasaray have come at the RAMS Park, but his performances have made him a fan-favourite.

The Turkish champions continue to seek means of turning his loan move from Napoli into a permanent transfer.
