By Hope Ejairu
Victor Osimhen has revealed that joining Turkish heavyweight, Galatasaray in a late summer move was his decision.
Speaking to Turkish media, TRT Spor, Osimhen, 25, disclosed that he could have stayed at Napoli amid the challenges, however, he made a decision favourable to him.
“I had plans to stay there and wait for three or four months and leave in January, but I think for me it was fair also to stay there because I wouldn’t let anyone decide for me,” he said.
The Nigerian international stated that he eventually joined Galatasaray because the manager, Okan Buruk was able to convince him via the phone.
“When I received the call from the Galatasaray coach, it was really convincing.
“He said what he wanted to do this season and what he wanted to achieve. I could see what he had set for himself as a man, a coach, and a father,” he noted.
The former Lille emphasised that he believes in the project, adding that the squad is perfect for him with the quality of players available.
“I think I fit in this plan, and coming to a team with already a lot of quality players with great ambition, as a footballer it was easy to come.”
Osimhen has scored two goals thus far for Buruk’s side, and will be out for some weeks due to injury.
