Former Senegal international, Mbaye Diagne, has tipped Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen to break his long-standing Turkish Super Lig goalscoring record.

Diagne had set the record for the highest-scoring foreign player in a single Turkish Super Lig season.

He achieved the feat after scoring 30 goals during the 2018-2019 campaign for Kasımpaşa and Galatasaray, respectively.

Diagne netted 20 goals in 17 matches for Kasımpaşa in the first half of the season before adding another 10 goals in 12 appearances after his move to Galatasaray midway through the campaign.

Speaking about his record, Diagne insisted that he would only be comfortable seeing Osimhen surpass the milestone.

“I’m happy, very happy. I have scored a lot of goals. I’m also happy to be the top scorer here,” Diagne said as quoted by Turkish newspaper Vatan.

“Nobody has broken my goal record in the Super League. They probably won’t be able to. I could only accept it if my friend Osimhen broke it, but it is impossible for anyone else to break it.”

Osimhen has scored 15 Super Lig goals for Galatasaray this season, while his fellow Nigerian teammate Paul Onuachu has netted 22 goals.
