Nigerian international Victor Osimhen has officially been crowned the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig Golden Boot winner, capping off a remarkable season with Galatasaray.

The 26-year-old Super Eagles striker netted an impressive 26 goals in the Turkish top flight, playing a crucial role in Galatasaray's successful league title defense. His goal-scoring prowess put him five goals clear of his nearest challenger, Krzysztof Piatek, and six ahead of Youssef En-Nesyri.

The confirmation of Osimhen's Golden Boot award came following the conclusion of the Super Lig campaign, where his consistent performances throughout the season had made him the overwhelming favorite for the accolade.

With this achievement, Osimhen enters an exclusive club of footballers who have claimed Golden Boot awards in two different top-five European leagues. He previously won the Serie A top scorer award in the 2022/23 season while playing for Napoli, helping the Italian side end their 33-year wait for a Scudetto.

This latest accomplishment further cements Osimhen's reputation as one of Africa's premier strikers and adds to his growing list of individual honors in European football.

The Nigerian striker's future has been a subject of speculation, with reports suggesting he is set to announce a decision on his next career move in the coming week. Several top European clubs have been linked with the prolific forward, including Chelsea, where fellow Nigerian Peter Okoye recently claimed he was working alongside John Obi Mikel to facilitate a potential transfer.

Osimhen's Golden Boot triumph in Turkey adds another significant achievement to his impressive career portfolio as he continues to establish himself among the world's elite strikers.
