Victor Osimhen: Super Eagles star named Sportsman of the Year after exceptional 2025

Osimhen was presented with the prestigious award on Wednesday evening, a testament to his sensational impact at the Istanbul-based club.

The Super Eagles striker, who initially joined Galatasaray on loan for the 2024–25 season, quickly established himself as a pivotal figure in the team's success.

His explosive debut season saw him score an incredible 37 goals and register seven assists across all competitions, and was instrumental in leading Galatasaray to a domestic double, securing both the Super Lig and Turkish Cup trophies.

Following this dominant display, the club made his transfer permanent in a landmark deal.

"I want to say a big thank you to GQ. I can't forget my Galatasaray family. This means so much to me and my family," he stated.

"I appreciate everyone who has supported me up to this hour. I will continue to do my best for my family, for Galatasaray, and for the fans all over the world."

Osimhen will now turn his attention to Nigeria's Super Eagles as they look to win the AFCON 2025 trophy in Morocco.

The 26-year-old will be one of the first names on the team sheet and one of the leaders, following William Troost-Ekong's decision to retire from international football.
