• The on-loan Napoli forward had advised the Istanbul giants to try out the young forward who he claims is quite good

Victor Osimhen has proved again he will put family first before anything else after convincing Galatasaray to give his nephew a chance in their squad.

The 26-year-old forward joined the reigning Turkish league champions on loan in September from Napoli and has quickly established himself as an influential member of Okan Buruk’s squad.

Osimhen’s total tally of 13 goals and five assists in all competitions per Transfermarkt, makes the Nigerian forward Galatasaray’s top scorer for the ongoing 2024/25 campaign.

The Super Eagles forward has also made a commitment to the Istanbul giants to win laurels and remain at the club until the end of the season despite numerous interests in him from top European clubs.

Elsewhere, football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano suggests there is a slim chance for Osimhen to join Manchester United in the January transfer window despite the forward’s initial stance, GiveMeSport reports.

The Nigerian forward seemed uninterested in any deal that will see him leave Galatasaray this winter, a move that has angered the entire Napoli management who are keen to offload him to make a huge profit.

This season, Manchester United's attacking options have fallen short of expectations, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee both unable to establish themselves as starters in Reuben Amorim's squad, thereby forcing the club to look for a marquee striker in the coming days.
