Turkish football pundit Levent Tüzemen has urged Galatasaray to find solutions to Victor Osimhen's injury problems as the January transfer window approaches.

The Nigerian international has struggled to stay fit this season and is currently recovering from a knee injury he sustained during Galatasaray's UEFA Champions League clash against Stuttgart last week.

The former Napoli striker will miss Nigeria's upcoming AFCON qualifying matches against Tanzania after also missing the first two games against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau due to a groin injury.

According to Tüzemen, Galatasaray need to sign a quality striker to partner Osimhen upfront.

He urged the Turkish champions to explore the option of signing a quality attacker who can provide competition for the Super Eagles striker and allow him to rest in certain matches.

"Galatasaray needs a good striker, a good right-back, a good left-sided centre-back, and a good midfielder. A good striker needs to be brought in to replace Osimhen," Tüzemen said on the Libero TV YouTube channel.

"Not a backup, but a striker of the same type, like Osimhen, to play alongside him. You can rest Osimhen in some matches. It's important not to have to use Osimhen in every game."
