He disclosed his objectives after scoring his first goal for the club, assisted by Osimhen in the 2-2 draw against Eyupspor at the RAMS Park on Sunday.
“When I first came to Galatasaray, I said I wanted to win the Europa League,” he told Fanatik. “When I look at my team now, I believe we have a very strong chance to win it.
“Of course, we have to continue to work hard. We need to continue to win without losing concentration and by staying focused.”
The record Turkish Super League champions have not won a European trophy since beating Arsenal to win the UEFA Cup (now UEFA Europa League) in the 1999/00 season.
