Galatasaray assistant coach Ismael Gomez has praised Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, describing him as a rare talent in modern football.
Osimhen, who joined the Turkish champions on a season-long loan from Napoli in September, has made an immediate impact, scoring eight goals in nine appearances across all competitions.
Gomez highlighted the forward’s unique combination of physical attributes and technical skills, which make him a standout player.
The coach also compared Osimhen’s potential influence to that of Mauro Icardi, who dominated the Turkish Super Lig last season with his goals and assists.
Gomez told Marca, “Last season, Icardi dominated the league not only with the number of goals he scored but also with the assists. This is what we want from Osimhen, to dominate the matches and the league like Icardi,” he told Marca.
“He attracts the attention of the entire opponent’s defence line. He can create positions on his own. It is really difficult to see a football player with his athletic capacity in the world. It is not easy to find a player who combines his height, speed and coordination level,” he added.
