Osimhen climbs Galatasaray’s all-time foreign scorers’ chart
Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen has moved into third place on Galatasaray’s all-time list of highest-scoring foreign players following another impressive performance for the Turkish champions.
Osimhen scored twice as Galatasaray defeated Erzurum FK 4-0 on Friday, taking his total for the club to 62 goals in 76 appearances.
The brace moved him past former Czech Republic international Milan Baros, who scored 61 goals for the Istanbul-based club.
The Nigerian has also registered 16 assists since joining Galatasaray.
Osimhen now trails only two club legends on the foreign goalscorers’ list. Argentine striker Mauro Icardi leads with 77 goals, while Romanian great Gheorghe Hagi is second with 72.
The 27-year-old also continued his impressive start to the new Süper Lig season, becoming the first Galatasaray player since Brazilian striker Mario Jardel in the 2000/01 campaign to score at least four goals across the club’s opening two league matches.
Osimhen’s latest achievement further cements his growing status in Galatasaray’s history.
