Turkey: Galatasaray boss Buruk happy with Osimhen’s performance

Date:

Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has lauded Victor Osimhen for his selflessness and valuable contributions to the team.

Although Osimhen has yet to score for the Yellow and Reds, the Nigerian international has made an impact by providing three assists in his three appearances for the Turkish Super Lig champions.

Buruk stated that the 25-year-old has played a crucial role in the team’s impressive outings since his arrival.

The gaffer also added that the striker is not entirely focused on scoring goals for the team.

“Victor Osimhen’s game is very important. Not everything is about scoring goals. You score goals but you lose the game,” Buruk said, per PlaySpor.

“When he sees the net, he passes the ball to the closest player. If he focused only on scoring goals, it could be different. He fights a lot during the game. He suits us very well as a player and a person. It is very valuable to have him with us.”
