Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen is on the brink of another historic milestone in Europe with Galatasaray
Galatasaray’s Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is on the brink of history as the Turkish champions prepare to host Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League on October 22.
The Super Eagles forward could set a new European scoring record if he finds the net at RAMS Park tomorrow night.
Osimhen closing in on Galatasaray history
Since joining Galatasaray permanently in August, Osimhen has been a sensation for Okan Buruk’s side, building on his record-breaking first season, where he scored 37 goals and provided seven assists in 41 appearances; the highest single-season tally in the club’s history.

The Osimhen Question: Galatasaray fans frustrated by Eagles striker's bench role in crucial win
Victor Osimhen only played a 16-minute cameo in Galatasaray's 2-1 win over Basaksehir. See the fan reaction and why his limited role sparks debate.
The 26-year-old has already scored three goals in seven appearances this campaign and remains a focal point of the team’s attack.
After a steady start, Osimhen is now targeting another milestone: becoming the first player in Galatasaray history to score in seven consecutive European matches.
Osimhen currently shares the record with former Turkish international Burak Yilmaz, who achieved six straight European goals back in 2012.
Having already found the net against Tottenham Hotspur, AZ Alkmaar, Dynamo Kiev, and Ajax during last season’s UEFA Europa League run, the Nigerian striker scored in the Lions’ 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Champions League this season, and is just one goal away from standing alone in the record books.
From international heroics to European spotlight
Osimhen enters the clash in strong form, having scored a hat-trick for Nigeria against Benin during the international break before featuring briefly in Galatasaray’s weekend win over Basaksehir.
His recovery from an early-season ankle injury means he’s now fully fit to lead the line again, and is within reach of a new milestone.
Against Bodo/Glimt, all eyes will be on Osimhen as Galatasaray look to extend their unbeaten run in Group C.
With his explosive pace, clinical finishing, and growing reputation across Europe, the Nigerian forward has a golden chance to etch his name even deeper into Galatasaray’s European history.
