Victor Osimhen: Incredible goalscoring stat places Super Eagles ace above Mbappe and Haaland
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has continued his devastating goalscoring run, establishing himself as the most lethal frontman in Europe behind only Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane.
Since December 2025, the 27-year-old Nigerian international has netted 16 goals across all competitions for the Turkish champions.
During that same stretch, only Kane has outscored him among central strikers in Europe’s top leagues, with the England captain leading the continent on 22 goals for the Bavarian giants.
A blistering start to 2026/27
Osimhen’s tally is helped by his explosive start to the new season, firing home four goals in his first two league appearances for Galatasaray.
He opened his account for the campaign on August 14, 2026, scoring both goals in a frustrating 2-2 draw against newly promoted Çorum FK.
His clinical finishing was on full display again today, Friday, August 21, 2026, as Galatasaray dismantled Erzurumspor 4-0 away from home.
Osimhen destroys Erzurumspor
In a commanding individual performance, Osimhen set up Yunus Akgün for Galatasaray's second goal before pouncing on a defensive error just before half-time to tap into an empty net.
He capped off his night in the 80th minute by latching onto a crisp delivery from Gabriel Sara to complete his double and seal his second consecutive brace of the young season.
With four goals in two matches, Osimhen's blistering form shows no signs of slowing down as he continues to challenge Kane at the summit of European goal-scoring charts.
