Victor Osimhen has been welcomed warmly into the Galatasaray fold as the club look to achieve more success this season.

Galatasaray's Michy Batshuayi has welcomed Victor Osimhen to the Turkish giants, dispelling rumors of a rivalry between himself, Osimhen, and Mauro Icardi.

Osimhen's summer arrival has bolstered Galatasaray's attack, presenting manager Okan Buruk with a selection dilemma. However, Batshuayi insists the trio will work together to deliver titles for the club.

"There are three great forwards, all three of us are here to contribute to Galatasaray," Batshuayi told the club's official website.

"Of course, the important thing here is the victories that Galatasaray will win."

Batshuayi emphasized the importance of teamwork, saying, "We have all found harmony together and we need to carry Galatasaray towards victories together."

Buruk typically employs a 4-2-3-1 but has used a more attacking 4-4-2 on occasion to make room for two strikers, something that could see Osimhen partnered by either last season's top scorer Mauro Icardi or Batshuayi.

Galatasaray's next game is against Fenerbahce in the Istanbul derby on Saturday, and Osimhen is expected to play some part.
