According to Transfermarkt, Osimhen has scored nine goals and created five assists in just 12 appearances for Galatasaray in all competitions, making him the top scorer on the team.
The Nigerian forward is also well-respected by his teammates and highly loved by the club’s fans despite only being there for just a few months.
Osimhen’s continuous rise in Turkey has made his rivals envious of Galatasaray but Fenerbahce legend Tümer Metin has pinpointed the secret behind the striker’s success.
Metin shares secret to Osimhen’s success
Fenerbahce icon, Metin has claimed Osimhen’s hunger and incredible desire are the main reasons for the Nigerian forward’s success at Galatasaray this season, Soccernet reports.
"I liked Osimhen very much again. An incredible desire, an incredible enthusiasm, and an incredible search... I haven't seen such hunger in a football player for a long time.
"He goes with a hunger that brings the same feeling to everyone. He supports him, pulls him to his side, it's like he's gathering all the players around him with a rope around his waist. It's an incredible image.
"I have seen very few football players with such a strong feeling at every moment of the match.”
Galatasaray are eager to sign Osimhen permanently when his loan deal expires next summer but the forward’s market value of €75 million might be too much for the Turkish champions to raise.
Man United suffer major Osimhen blow
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Manchester United’s attempt to sign Osimhen in the January transfer window has been dealt a massive blow following the forward’s latest decision.
The 25-year-old joined Galatasaray on a one-year loan from Napoli but with a clause permitting a transfer in the winter transfer window should any offer be made available.
Man United were keen to add Osimhen to their attack in January but it appears Osimhen is adamant not on making any transfers until the end of the season.
