Former Beşiktaş forward Nihat Kahveci has praised Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen’s impact in his debut game for Galatasaray on Saturday.
Recall that the Nigerian international netted a goal as Galatasaray thrashed Çaykur Rizespor 5-0 in the Turkish Super Lig.
Reacting after the game, Kahveci, in a chat with Yenisafak, stated that Osimhen was very active and showed his physical strength in the game.
“I didn’t see Osimhen as lacking in physicality. He showed what an athletic player he is. I saw his jumping advantage in all the cut balls.

“Goals were expected from Osimhen. Batshuayi gave him a very nice pass, I think he hit the ball correctly with the inside of his foot and the goalkeeper saved it.
“Apart from that, did he get into many clear positions? Galatasaray players did not get him into many positions like that.
“On the defensive side of things, I really liked his directing the ball to the goalkeeper and defenders when it came to him, and his defensive role and struggle in those areas when the ball was in Rizespor.
“Osimhen scores a lot of goals. He searches a lot, he is very active. He is always involved. If you create more positions for him, he will score a lot of goals in Galatasaray.”
