Victor Osimhen Climbs to Third on Galatasaray’s All-Time Foreign Scorers’ List

Nigeria international Victor Osimhen has moved into third place on Galatasaray’s all-time list of highest-scoring foreign players after another impressive performance for the Turkish champions.

Osimhen scored twice on Friday night as Galatasaray defeated Erzurum FK 4-0, taking his goalscoring tally for the club to 62 goals in 76 appearances.

The brace moved the 27-year-old past former Czech Republic international Milan Baros, who scored 61 goals during his time with the Istanbul club.

Osimhen has also provided 16 assists since joining Galatasaray, further highlighting his impact since arriving at the Turkish giants.

The Nigerian striker now has only two players ahead of him on Galatasaray’s all-time foreign scorers’ chart.

Argentine forward Mauro Icardi currently leads the list with 77 goals, while Romanian legend Gheorghe Hagi occupies second place with 72 goals.

Osimhen’s latest achievement means he is now just 10 goals behind Hagi and 15 goals away from matching Icardi’s record. The Nigerian forward is also enjoying a remarkable start to the new Süper Lig campaign.

With his latest brace, Osimhen became the first Galatasaray player since Brazilian striker Mario Jardel in the 2000/01 season to score at least four goals across the club’s opening two league matches of a season.

The milestone adds to Osimhen’s growing list of achievements at Galatasaray and further strengthens his place among the club’s most prolific foreign players.

His continued goalscoring form has also increased expectations that he could challenge the two players ahead of him on the club’s historic scoring chart if he maintains his current form.

Osimhen’s latest performance comes as Galatasaray continue their title campaign, with the Nigerian striker once again proving central to the club’s attacking ambitions.
