Victor Osimhen’s Goals Boost Transfer Hopes
Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker, scored twice. He led Galatasaray to a 3-2 win over Tottenham in the Europa League. Osimhen, who moved from Napoli, made a big impact. He scored the first goal in the 31st minute. Then, he added another in the 39th minute. This win kept Galatasaray unbeaten in the league.
Osimhen’s Move to Galatasaray
Osimhen’s transfer to Galatasaray was surprising. He was linked to top clubs in England and France. Galatasaray’s assistant manager, Ismael Garcia Gomez, noted the unexpected opportunity. “There were many rumors, and we didn’t think he’d stay at Napoli,” he said.
With Chelsea and Saudi clubs in the mix, many expected him to leave Italy for another European giant. However, he joined Galatasaray on a one-year loan in September.
Chelsea’s Interest: A Possible January Move?
Osimhen’s future is a hot topic, especially with rumors of a January move to Chelsea. The last transfer window saw Chelsea close to signing him, aided by former player John Mikel Obi. Mikel shared that both sides made compromises, but the deal fell through.

Other Clubs Interested: PSG and Arsenal
Chelsea isn’t alone in its interest. PSG and Arsenal are also in the mix. Both clubs see Osimhen’s speed, strength, and scoring as a perfect fit for their needs.
PSG has struggled to score this season. This was clear in their match against Athletico Madrid. They dominated the game but lost 2-1 in the Champions League after failing to find the net. Arsenal aims to build a top-tier squad. While Osimhen focuses on his current game, the January move remains possible.
