Victor Osimhen received praise from a veteran Turkish football coach.

Legendary Turkish football manager Yilmaz Vural was full of praise for Victor Osimhen, lauding the Nigerian striker for his immense contribution to the teams he plays for. 

Vural, who has coached nearly 30 teams across the tiers of Turkish football, urged the Cim-Bom hierarchy to make the necessary investment needed to sign Osimhen, as the Nigerian striker was a rare talent.

What Vural said 

In quotes relayed by GsGazette, the former Konyaspor coach expressed befuddlement at Napoli's decision to let Osimhen go. He implored Galatasaray to sign him permanently this summer, lauding the Nigerian's one-of-a-kind abilities. 

"They are talking about 75 million euros. Let them find and get him,” he said. “Let Galatasaray get Osimhen, make 1-2 transfers and they will be champions again.

“Napoli lost their minds by letting go of such a player. But despite him, they are going to the championship in the Italian League. It is very interesting. I have been in the football world for so many years. I have never seen such a player. 

“He is literally 50% of the team. From the ground, from the air, go forward, come back. He makes counterattacks alone. If that is not enough, he helps the defence. He even makes assists in places where he will hit. In addition to his contribution in terms of play, he also raises his teammates spiritually. He is a 4/4 player."
