‘Not even half as good’ - Ex-Turkish star claims En-Nesyri not on the same level as Osimhen

After making his loan move to the "Yellow-Reds" permanent, Osimhen has started the new season strongly, scoring twice in his first two league appearances.

While En-Nesyri has contributed a respectable four goals in eight league matches, his performances have not been enough to close the gap on their rivals. 

Fenerbahce are currently sitting six points behind league leaders Galatasaray and are gradually cruising to another league triumph.

Osimhen has shown impressive form this season and has been instrumental for Galatasaray, which has led to a lot of comparisons with En-Nesyri.

However, Engin, now a commentator for Beyaz TV, via Habersarikirmizi. expressed strong doubts about En-Nesyri's capacity to spearhead a title-winning campaign for Fenerbahce.

"Fenerbahce cannot win the championship with En-Nesyri," Engin stated, as reported by Habersarikirmizi. "This man is not even half as good as Icardi and Osimhen."

Engin's criticism gained further traction after Fenerbahce's recent goalless draw against Samsunspor. 

The Moroccan struggled to find the net in a match where a victory would have allowed his team to gain ground on Galatasaray, who had dropped points against Besiktas. 

The result has only intensified the debate over whether the Moroccan striker has the elite quality needed to lead his club to the championship.
