Unuanel also highlighted Osimhen’s seamless transition into Turkish football, noting how quickly he has become central to Galatasaray’s attacking play.

He continued, “Since joining Galatasaray, Osimhen has not stopped scoring goals. He’s more like the pillar of the team, and I am impressed with his goal-scoring exploits in Turkey.”
