Victor Osimhen ends the 2024/2025 season with double awards at Galatasaray, winning Player of the Season and claiming the Süper Lig top scorer title with 37 goals.

Nigeria Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has capped off a remarkable 2024/2025 season by earning double honours at Galatasaray.

The 26-year-old was named Galatasaray Player of the Season after an outstanding campaign in which he also claimed the top scorer title in the Turkish Süper Lig.

Osimhen finished the season in spectacular fashion, scoring his 37th goal across all competitions with a powerful bullet header that sealed a 2-0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir on the final day of the league.

The match, played at Rams Park, saw Osimhen first win a penalty that teammate Dries Mertens calmly converted before the Nigerian striker thundered home the winner.

His 37-goal haul marked a high note to end his loan spell with Galatasaray, sealing his incredible impact since joining the club.

Osimhen netted 26 goals in the Süper Lig alone, securing the league’s top scorer award and extending his record as the highest-scoring foreign player in a single season in Galatasaray’s history.

Victor Osimhen ends the season with 37 goals in 41 matches.

Osimhen’s consistent goal-scoring ability and match-winning performances have made him a fan favourite at Rams Park and a key figure in Galatasaray’s success this season.

His ability to deliver in crucial moments, combined with his relentless work ethic, earned him the prestigious Player of the Season award.

Consequently, as Osimhen concludes his loan spell, his double honours stand as a reminder of his immense talent and determination, cementing his place as one of the most lethal strikers in European football and a vital asset for the Super Eagles moving forward.

Osimhen has now led two European clubs in SSC Napoli and Galatasaray with league titles in his career.
