He also chose the Chelsea star over players like Marcus Thuram and Viktor Gyokeres, but admitted that Real Madrid's Rodrygo is better.
Ex-Galatasaray vice-president hails Osimhen
Meanwhile, Abdurrahim Albayrak, who was the former Galatasaray vice president, has praised Osimhen for his contributions to the Turkish club despite being a loan player.
Albayrak stated that he wished the Nigerian international would continue, even though he is poised to leave at the end of the season. He said, via Haber Sari Kirmizi:
“Oh, I wish Osimhen would continue... Like Icardi, he has also won the hearts of all Galatasaray fans,”
“Pay attention to how a world star who will leave in 2 months is fighting with his life and soul. All the players playing in our leagues should take a lesson from him. He has proven to the whole world how professional a player he is.”
Palmer beats Ronaldo to special award
Legit.ng earlier reported that Cole Palmer recently edged Cristiano Ronaldo, Jude Bellingham and other top stars to an award voted for by British football fans.
Palmer’s stocks have been on the rise since he made the daring move to leave his boyhood club, Manchester City and joined rivals Chelsea in the summer of 2023.
He has been one of the best players in the Premier League since then, scooping multiple awards, including the Premier League’s Young Player of the Year last season.
