Ex-Besiktas star Nihat Kahveci has claimed that Victor Osimhen should be examined after his performance against Samsunspor

Galatasaray defeated Samsunspor 3-2 in Sunday's Turkish Super Lig match, with Osimhen showing why he is one of the best strikers in the world.

Galatasaray's unbeaten streak was maintained as the Super Eagles star scored two goals to continue his impressive run.

Osimhen's two goals against Samsunspor mean he has scored eight goals in his last nine games in all competitions. 

Nihat speaks about Osimhen

Sports analyst Nihat Kahveci lauded Osimhen's performance after Galatasaray defeated Samsunspor on Sunday.

He said on the Kontraspor YouTube channel, via Fanatik, "Osimhen looks like a single striker but it's a lie. Rolland Sallai played like a striker, and became a double centre forward.

“Mertens played like a striker and became a double centre-forward. Even Yunus Akgün came there.

"He's a monster. Not just with the goals he scores, but with everything he does. They should examine his mask, is there a magnet, is it attracting the ball?"

The Turkish League legend joked that the striker's mask must have a magnet attracting the ball to it that makes it easy for him to score goals.

Osimhen also set a new record, becoming the first player to score or assist in each of his first six games in the Turkish Super Lig since Opta began gathering data in 2014-2015.
