Nigerian football legend, Jay-Jay Okocha, has offered some words of advice to Victor Osimhen over the forward’s next move following his successful loan spell with Galatasaray.
Speaking to Turkish broadcaster TRT Spor via Haberler, the former Fenerbahçe playmaker urged Osimhen to continue plying his trade in Turkey by staying with Galatasaray, even if it means making personal sacrifices.
“Turkey is a great place to play and live football,” Okocha said.
“Sometimes, you may need to make sacrifices when making decisions in football. Osimhen had a great season at Galatasaray. Ultimately, he is happy there. Why shouldn’t he stay with the team? I love Turkey. He loves it too.”
Asked whether he had any inside knowledge on Osimhen’s next destination, Okocha said: “I don’t know,” he replied.
“Wherever he decides to go, I wish him the best.”
Okocha, who played for Fenerbahçe between 1996 and 1998, also reflected on his own time in Turkey, calling it “a wonderful two years” and fondly remembering the fans and local cuisine. He concluded his remarks with a nod to his old club, telling fans, “The greatest is Fener.”
Osimhen, who recently concluded his loan spell from Napoli, scored his 37th goal of the season in Galatasaray’s 2–0 win over İstanbul Başakşehir on Saturday, ending a sensational campaign with the Turkish Cup and Turkish Super Lig.
He also won Player of the Season and Süper Lig top scorer gong.
