Nigerian international Victor Osimhen has officially been crowned the top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig following the conclusion of the 2024/2025 campaign.

The 26-year-old netted an impressive 26 goals in 30 league appearances for the Yellow and Reds.

The former Lille striker also provided eight assists, helping Okan Buruk's side secure the Super Lig title.

The Golden Boot award caps a remarkable season for the former African Footballer of the Year, who won a domestic double with the Istanbul giants.

Osimhen finished five goals ahead of İstanbul Başakşehir's Krzysztof Piątek and six goals clear of Fenerbahce's Youssef En-Nesyri.

The Super Eagles striker has joined an elite group of forwards who have won the top scorer award in two different European leagues.

Osimhen previously won the Capocannoniere award with Napoli in Serie A during the 2022/2023 season, netting 25 goals to guide the Naples-based club to their first Scudetto in 33 years.
