Victor Osimhen has made a significant impact on football, scoring 35 goals in 52 caps for Nigeria. His current club, Galatasaray, acquired him for €70 million from Napoli. This transfer underscores his value as one of the best strikers in the world.
Alex Iwobi, who has played alongside Osimhen for most of his international career, recently praised him. Iwobi described Osimhen’s mentality as “sick,” emphasizing his relentless desire to win. “He always wants to win, and that mentality is sick. It’s sick,” Iwobi stated.
Osimhen is known for his immense hunger and work rate. He creates five chances per game through sheer effort and running. Iwobi highlighted this aspect of Osimhen’s game: “Some would say he’s not polished, he’s a bit raw, but Victor will create five chances a game for himself, just through hard work and running.” His aggressive style often leads to injuries in training.
But it is not just his work ethic that sets him apart. Iwobi noted that Osimhen treats every opponent with the same intensity, regardless of their stature. “He doesn’t care who you are. He doesn’t care if you’re [Virgil] van Dijk or a guy from non-league—no disrespect to non-league—he will fight,” said Iwobi.
This fighting spirit contributes to Osimhen’s reputation as a formidable player. His performances have drawn attention from top clubs, with potential transfer fees exceeding €100 million being discussed for future moves.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any imminent transfers or club interests at this time. However, the football community continues to watch Osimhen closely as he maintains his status among elite strikers worldwide.
