Published on by Godfred Budu

Former Turkey international Batuhan Karadeniz has praised Victor Osimhen for his extraordinary impact in the Turkish top flight.

The Super Eagles forward has emerged as a revelation in the Super Lig since his season-long loan move from Napoli in September.

Osimhen has made seven goal contributions for the Turkish champions in seven games across all competitions, scoring four goals and providing three assists, while averaging 69 minutes per game.

Karadeniz asserts that, the 25-year-old's exceptional skill and relentless work ethic position him as a distinctive and formidable competitor in the Turkish league.

Following the Istanbul derby, Karadeniz highlighted the striker's outstanding performances, noting that his contributions to Galatasaray have diminished the competitive balance of the Turkish top flight.

“Victor Osimhen, since the day he arrived, comes out and tears himself apart when he scores a goal. He never reverses his movements when he stepped left and right,” he said as per Superhaber.

“So many big world stars will come to a league like ours and I will get tired watching… This is what you call a football player, he gives full value for the money he gets.

“They hired a guy named Victor Osimhen… This is cheating. Osimhen needs to be banned from the Super League. Unfair competition, this guy.

“He comes to his own penalty area for the corner, kicks the ball. He goes to the opponent's penalty area, gets into a goal position. He turns and gets the ball in the midfield, and is in the counter-attack again.

“What kind of a player is this, I have never seen such a player! Send him back, whoever is taking him, Osimhen has become a scourge to the Super League!”
