Alvaro Morata has heaped praise on his Galatasaray teammate Victor Osimhen, calling him “one of the best centre forwards in the world” following their emphatic 5-1 win over Eyupspor. The match saw both strikers make a significant impact—Morata netted twice after coming off the bench, while Osimhen contributed a goal and an assist.
On loan from Napoli, Osimhen has been in sensational form for Galatasaray this season, stepping up in the absence of Mauro Icardi. With 31 goals and 7 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions, the Nigerian international has quickly become a key figure under manager Okan Buruk.
Morata’s comments highlight the growing respect Osimhen commands at the club and in world football, especially given his consistent performances and ability to influence big games.
