Many Galatasaray fans have praised the passion and dedication shown by Nigeria international Victor Osimhen, both on and off the pitch referring to him as a 40-year fan.
Osimhen has built a reputation throughout his career as a fervent player who gives his all for the badge. The Nigerian forward has consistently won the hearts of supporters at almost every club he has represented (with the exception of Wolfsburg).
From his loan spell at Belgian club Sporting Charleroi to his standout season at LOSC Lille in France, and his instrumental role in Napoli’s first Scudetto triumph in 33 years, Osimhen has been a fan favorite wherever he has played.

During his loan stint with Galatasaray, his passion has remained undiminished. He consistently gives his all during matches and celebrates enthusiastically with fans, further endearing himself to the Galatasaray faithful. Known for their deep love of football, Galatasaray fans have since embraced Osimhen’s zeal and commitment to the club.
In Galatasaray’s 2-1 away victory over İstanbul Başakşehir, Osimhen provided the assist for the opening goal before being substituted in the 90th minute for Victor Nelsson. A video capturing the final moments of the game has gone viral, showcasing Osimhen urging his teammates to stay focused before celebrating ecstatically at the final whistle.
The video, shared on Instagram by ForzaCimbomcom, has drawn admiration from fans, with many marveling at Osimhen’s loyalty and passion for a club he is only temporarily playing for. One fan, Eran Karabacak, commented, “The man is like a 40-year-old Galatasaray fan,” a sentiment echoed by many others who praised him as an incredible signing.
Osimhen’s on-field contributions have also been exceptional, with 13 goals and six assists in 17 appearances across all competitions for Galatasaray. The Nigerian joined the Turkish giants on loan from Napoli in the summer following a fallout with his parent club.
Despite tensions with Napoli’s hierarchy, Osimhen has vowed to stay at Galatasaray until the end of the season, further solidifying his bond with the fans and the team.
