Osimhen Stays Neutral When Comparing Kvaratskhelia and Yunus Akgün
Galatasaray striker praises both former and current teammates, showing respect and professionalism.
Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles forward currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, refused to pick sides when asked to compare Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Galatasaray’s Yunus Akgün. The 25-year-old has had the privilege of playing alongside both talented wingers, but he tactfully chose to avoid favoritism.
“Kvara or Yunus? Both of them are good players,” Osimhen said after Galatasaray’s impressive 2-0 win against Kayserispor, where he scored both goals. The victory sent Okan Buruk’s side eight points clear at the top of the Turkish Super Lig.
Osimhen’s chemistry with Yunus Akgün has been evident, as the duo has combined for three goals since his move to Turkey. However, his connection with Kvaratskhelia during their Serie A-winning campaign at Napoli was nothing short of iconic, with the pair directly combining for 15 goals that season.
Despite his controversial exit from Napoli, Osimhen remains respectful of his former teammates, highlighting his professionalism. His stellar form at Galatasaray—12 goals and five assists in 15 games—has sparked transfer rumors linking him to top Premier League clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
For now, Osimhen remains focused on helping Galatasaray secure the Turkish league title while maintaining strong relationships with past and present teammates.
