Osimhen breaks two records after winning Turkish Cup with Galatasaray

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, on Wednesday broke two records after helping Galatasaray to win the Turkish Cup.

The 26-year-old scored two goals as Galatasaray won 3-0 against Trabzonspor in the Turkish Cup final.

Osimhen is now the club’s all-time record highest goalscorer by a foreign football player in a season.

Osimhen achieved this feat with his 35th goal of the season for Galatasaray.

As a result, the former Lille star surpassed Galatasaray’s former player, Mario Jardel’s iconic tally of 34 goals during the 2000-2001 campaign.

Osimhen is also the first foreign football player to score twice for the club in the Turkish Cup final.

The Nigeria international joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Serie A side Napoli last year.

He has attracted interest from several top European clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Juventus and Manchester United this summer.
