Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen has revealed that he has tried to convince his Super Eagles teammates, Ademola Lookman and Raphael Onyedika, to join him at Galatasaray.

Lookman and Onyedika have both been linked with moves to the Turkish champions from Atalanta and Club Brugge, respectively.

Speaking after Galatasaray’s draw with Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, Osimhen stated that he has told the duo amazing things about the club.

However, he added that the final decision will be made by the players themselves.

“Before playing the World Cup qualifier, I spoke with Lookman. I told him everything about my experience at Galatasaray — how amazing the club and the fans are, and that when he comes here, he’ll feel right at home,” he said.

“We talked at length, but in the end, he’s an adult and will make decisions about his future on his own. But if he comes here, it would be great for the club, for the fans, and for the players here.”

He added: “I spoke to Onyedika at the AFCON. I spoke to him before coming back to Istanbul. I hope he’s going to come.

“He has so much quality; he’s a very fluid player. He’s extremely talented.

“I await his response, along with his agent and his club.

“At the end of the day, these two players are professionals, and they will decide what is best for them.

“I have only tried to bring them to one of the best clubs in the world.”
