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.
