Osimhen and Morata’s combo 

The 26-year-old Super Eagles striker formed a powerful partnership with Mauro Icardi at the start of the season before his unfortunate ACL injury. 

In an attempt to replicate the two-striker system, the Cim-Bom signed Morata in the winter transfer window. However, the partnership has not worked as seamlessly as envisaged, as Galatasaray have been inconsistent lately. 

Yesterday, Okan Buruk's side came from behind to beat Alyanspor thanks to a Victor Osimhen winner to ensure they do not drop points this gameweek.

What Osimhen said 

Speaking after the match, Osimhen, who started up front with Morata, spoke about the joy of playing with the Spaniard. 

"It was incredible to play with him,” Osimhen said, per NtvSpor. “He is a very experienced player. He is at a very advanced level as a team player. I am happy to play with him. We want to have a season-end where he and I score goals."
