Victor Osimhen, who joined Turkish giants Galatasaray SK on loan this season, has been in red-hot form of late, contributing four goals and eight assists in just nine appearances across all competitions. His performances have not only lit up the Super Lig but also placed him in the conversation as one of the best forwards in Europe once again. Currently, the Nigerian international is tied for third place in the league's scoring chart, trailing only seasoned finishers Edin Dzeko and Ciro Immobile.
Speaking to , Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk stirred the debate by claiming that while Erling Haaland might be considered the best striker globally, he believes Osimhen edges the Norwegian at the moment. "There are not many elite strikers in Europe," Buruk said, as quoted by . "Haaland may come to mind first, but since Manchester City have lost in recent weeks, I would say Osimhen is the best right now.
" The comparison comes at a time when Haaland’s blistering goalscoring form has slightly tapered off. While the Manchester City star has netted 15 goals in 16 matches, he has scored just twice in his last six league outings. The Turkish manager also praised Osimhen’s attitude, describing him as "an extraordinary character," further highlighting the Nigerian’s impact on and off the pitch.
