Victor Osimhen has etched his name into the annals of Turkish football history, becoming the highest-scoring foreign player ever in the country’s league.
Galatasaray confirmed the record-breaking feat in a tweet on Wednesday, stating: “Most ever goals by a foreign player in Turkish history. Victor Osimhen is now up to 35 goals and counting .”
The Nigerian international has been in electrifying form since his blockbuster move to Galatasaray, consistently finding the net and thrilling fans with his pace, power, and precision in front of goal.
Osimhen’s latest milestone follows his recent brace in the Turkish Cup final, where he led Galatasaray to a 3-0 victory over Trabzonspor to lift the 2025 title.
His remarkable goal tally underlines his impact not just in Galatasaray’s campaign, but across the Turkish league, where he has quickly become a fan favourite and a fearsome opponent for defenders.
