Osimhen sets new record as top-scoring foreign player in Turkish football

Victor Osimhen has made history in Turkish football by becoming the highest-scoring foreign player in the league’s history. Galatasaray celebrated the achievement in a tweet on Wednesday, announcing: “Most ever goals by a foreign player in Turkish history. Victor Osimhen is now up to 35 goals and counting.”

Since his high-profile transfer to Galatasaray, the Nigerian striker has been in sensational form, consistently delivering goals and captivating fans with his explosive speed, strength, and clinical finishing.

Osimhen’s record-breaking moment comes shortly after his standout performance in the 2025 Turkish Cup final, where he scored twice to secure Galatasaray’s 3-0 win over Trabzonspor and claim the title.

His goal-scoring exploits have not only been instrumental in Galatasaray’s success this season but have also solidified his reputation as one of the most formidable strikers in the Turkish league.
