Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen has praised his Galatasaray teammate Mauro Icardi, recognizing him as a key figure in the team’s attacking lineup.
Icardi had already cemented his role as the main striker for the Turkish Super Lig champions before Osimhen joined the squad.
The Argentine forward has been a key player for Galatasaray since joining on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, helping to secure vital wins with his scoring ability and experience.
Despite Icardi’s established presence, the two have developed a strong bond on and off the pitch.
Osimhen scored his first goal for the Yellow and Reds during the thrilling 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa on Saturday night, showcasing his potential to be a significant contributor to the team.
Icardi also found the net in this match, further cementing their roles as a dynamic attacking duo. Their ability to combine effectively in front of goal is critical for Galatasaray as they aim to retain their league title and make a mark in European competitions.
“I have a good relationship with Mauro. He is a leader, he protects and looks after all of us. He is also a big brother to me. Everyone sees this,” Osimhen shared on the club’s official website.
This sentiment highlights the importance of teamwork and camaraderie in a successful squad.
“We celebrate the goals together. As I said, it is a real privilege to play with him,” he added, indicating his appreciation for Icardi’s guidance and experience.
Osimhen’s arrival at Galatasaray has generated excitement among fans, who are eager to see how he and Icardi will complement each other. The partnership is expected to elevate the team’s attacking prowess, especially as they pursue both domestic and international glory.
With both players in fine form, supporters have high hopes for a successful season ahead, believing that their chemistry on the field could lead to more memorable moments and victories for Galatasaray.
Many Napoli fans were angry when Osimhen kissed the Galatasaray jersey when he scored his first goal for the Turkish champions.
