Victor Osimhen has responded to transfer speculation linking him with a move to Arsenal and other European clubs, stating that he remains focused on his work. The Nigerian striker scored both goals in Galatasaray's 2-2 pre-season draw against newly promoted Corum FK, with his second goal arriving in the closing minutes to secure a point for the Turkish champions.
Osimhen Addresses Transfer Rumours
Speaking to GS TV after the match, the 26-year-old Super Eagles forward commented on the persistent rumours, saying, "Rumors always circulate during transfer seasons. I'll focus on my job. I'm focused on my work. We'll see and think about the future then."
The Telegraph reported that Arsenal have made enquiries with Galatasaray to understand the terms under which a deal for Osimhen could be arranged. Several other European clubs are also said to be monitoring his situation, according to the source.
Osimhen's Brace Underlines His Value
Osimhen's performance against Corum FK highlighted his importance to Galatasaray's attack, potentially complicating any negotiations for his departure. The Turkish club is likely to demand a significant fee before sanctioning a sale, given his continued form.
Transfer interest in Osimhen has been a constant theme for several seasons. Despite joining Galatasaray on a permanent basis last summer, reports linking him to moves elsewhere have persisted into the current window.
Osimhen Rescues Galatasaray
Legit.ng previously reported that Osimhen rescued Galatasaray from an embarrassing result at home against the newly promoted side. His brace, including a late equaliser, secured one point for the champions in the pre-season fixture.
As the summer transfer window enters its second half, Osimhen's continued form is likely to keep European clubs interested, but his immediate focus remains on his duties at Galatasaray.
