Juventus transfer target Victor Osimhen, the striker currently playing for Galatasaray but owned by Napoli, has broken his personal goalscoring record in his first season with the Turkish club.
The impressive 26-year-old forward has reached a remarkable total of 35 goals across all official competitions. This extraordinary milestone allowed him to surpass the legendary performance of Mario Jardel, who scored 34 times in 43 appearances during the 2000-2001 season. Osimhen`s achievement was sealed thanks to his brace in the Turkish Cup final against Trabzonspor, which secured Galatasaray their nineteenth trophy in the club`s history. With these goals, Osimhen concluded his run in the national cup competition with a tally of five goals.
The 1998-born attacker thus enters the record books as the most prolific foreign player in a single season for Galatasaray. His goal contribution was distributed across various tournaments: he scored 24 goals in 28 matches in the Turkish Super Lig, where he currently leads the scoring charts, and added another 6 goals in European competitions. These numbers confirm that this is undoubtedly the most productive season of the Nigerian footballer`s professional career.
