Victor James Osimhen

Victor James Osimhen

Victor James Osimhen attacks space and runs beyond the line as the focal No.9 for Galatasaray, pressing high and unlocking late runs in behind. Osimhen broke through at Lille, moved to Napoli for a club-record fee, and then delivered a historic Scudetto that shaped his early career arc. He then moved to Galatasaray. There, Osimhen's elite deep runs pull defenses, he shields the ball and releases at the moment to finish moves. The 2022-23 Scudetto with Napoli and the 2023 African Footballer of the Year award mark his international and domestic milestones. In Galatasaray he uses explosive pace and physicality to pin centre-backs and finish moves. Victor James Osimhen keeps defences honest, attacking the back post and driving shots off quickly.
