In a slickly-produced video shared across Galatasaray's social media channels, Osimhen is seen making a dramatic entrance, dropping his now-iconic mask on a table as he declares "We are the best!" - an apparent nod to the club's Europa League triumph.
The video, which features a hit song from Usher playing in the background, has been widely praised by supporters, who have flooded social media with ecstatic reactions.
"This is too good. The way Gala did the whole pre-announcement and announcement, you'd think it's a permanent transfer. Love it," raved one fan on Twitter.
Another gushed: "The most sensational transfer in football history. May God not embarrass him. Maşallah."
Osimhen's move to Galatasaray comes after a summer of speculation around the Nigerian's future, with the striker having made clear his desire to leave Napoli before it failed.
The Turkish club have now secured his services temporarily, and judging by the lavish welcome, the fans are more than ready to embrace their new star.
"You signed the best player in Africa," declared one Nigerian supporter. "We Africans love you Gala!"
Galatasaray will be hoping Osimhen's arrival can help propel them to success this season, both domestically and in the Europa League.
And if the club's sensational unveiling is any indication, the 25-year-old is set to become an instant hero among the passionate Galatasaray faithful.
