Osimhen’s scoring spree began before the international break, where he delivered a stunning hat-trick for Galatasaray in a dominant performance against Antalyspor. 

Carrying that momentum into Nigeria’s World Cup qualifiers, he continued to shine, scoring twice against Rwanda and adding another goal against Zimbabwe, despite the heartbreak of a late equaliser in the latter match.

His latest Super Eagles blitz saw him score three goals across those two international fixtures, his first matches in the qualifiers, standing head and shoulders above his teammates.

Now back in Istanbul after arriving on Thursday morning, Osimhen was spotted smiling and signing a Galatasaray shirt, exuding confidence ahead of his next challenge.

That challenge comes this weekend, as Galatasaray prepare to face off against Besiktas, led by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, in a high-stakes Istanbul derby.

With nine goals in five matches and a hunger for more, Osimhen’s blistering form shows no signs of slowing down. 

If his recent performances are anything to go by, Besiktas’s defence will have their hands full trying to contain the unstoppable Nigerian star on Saturday. 

The smile is back on Osimhen ahead of that visit to Besiktas.

Ole and his men have lost the last three matches across competitions, conceding six goals, an average of two per game. 

For Osimhen, it’s another opportunity to prove why he’s the man of the moment for both club and country, and the odds will back him to do just that.
