Nigeria Star Striker, Osimhen Set New Club Record

Victor Osimhen continued his remarkable European form on Tuesday night, scoring twice as Galatasaray sealed a 3-1 win over Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League.

Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk hailed the 26 year old Nigerian as a “difference maker,” noting his work rate and composure in front of goal.
