Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has spoken with heartfelt emotion after sealing a historic permanent transfer to Galatasaray, describing the club as the ideal place for him, www.aclsports.com reports.
The 26-year-old was officially presented to a roaring crowd in Istanbul on Wednesday night after sealing his return to reigning Turkish champions Galatasaray. The Nigerian striker became the most expensive signing in Turkish Super Lig history following the club’s activation of his €75 million release clause from Napoli.
Osimhen, speaking in his first official interview with the club, called Galatasaray a place where he can express himself to the fullest, confirming the connection between him and the Turkish club fans.
“This is where I can express myself fully through my football and with everything that I am,” Osimhen said.
“I’m truly grateful to everyone who worked to bring me here. I came because I love this place, and I feel good here. I want to sincerely thank all the fans who followed our flight and came out to welcome me. I believe I will give my best here and show myself in the best way,” he added.
“I can’t wait to meet the fans again. This is my home now,” Osimhen declared about reuniting with the fans, calling his latest destination his new footballing home and a place he’s eager to embrace.
Osimhen, fresh from a successful loan spell that saw him play a key role in Galatasaray’s domestic double triumph last season, now embarks on a new four-year chapter in Istanbul with ambitions to build on that momentum.
