Football commentator Tanju Çolak has made a bold prediction about Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen's goal-scoring potential for Galatasaray in the current season, forecasting that the Super Eagles star will net between 25 to 30 goals.
Çolak, a respected voice in Turkish football, also expressed confidence that Galatasaray will successfully defend their Turkish Super Lig title this season, citing the team's exceptional quality.
"Galatasaray is a star-studded group. There is no player who doesn't score goals," Çolak was quoted as saying. "No one can beat Galatasaray, no one can challenge them. I wholeheartedly believe Galatasaray will be champions again this season."
The commentator specifically highlighted Osimhen's scoring prowess, stating: "Osimhen will score at least 25 goals this season; it could be 30."
Osimhen has already opened his scoring account for the new season, finding the net in Galatasaray's impressive 4-0 victory over Kayserispor last weekend. The 26-year-old Nigerian international recently secured a permanent transfer to the Turkish giants from Napoli following a successful loan spell.
During his previous stint with Galatasaray, Osimhen was instrumental in their league triumph, scoring an impressive 37 goals across all competitions. His goal-scoring prowess and overall contribution were key factors in the club's decision to make his move permanent.
The Nigerian striker will be looking to build on his strong start to the season as Galatasaray aims to maintain their dominance in Turkish football while also making an impact in European competitions.
