Nigerian International Victor Osimhen and his Club, Galatasaray edged closer to a Turkish domestic double on Saturday as they defeated Trabzonspor 2-0 away in the Turkish League.
With three matches left to play, Galatasaray will confirm their League title retention if they defeat 13th placed Kayserispur next weekend in front of their vociferous home fans.
But before that, they could also lay their hands on another silverware, the Turkish Cup as they face today’s opponents, Trabzonspor again on Wednesday in the final of the Turkish Cup.
Victory in that game and victory next Sunday will ensure that the on loan Nigerian International and his Club will get his hands on two trophies same week.
With an eight points lead ahead of second placed Fenerbahce, a win for Galatasaray next weekend will put the League out of reach for their rivals.
Osimhen was on for 90minutes in the 2-0 win on Saturday and was a torn in the flesh of the opponents.
Even though he did not get on the score sheet, he missed a few chances as Spanish International, Morata and defender Bardacki scored to put the club just a match away from securing another league trophy.
Galatasaray’s next league opponents, Kayserispur suffered a 4-1 drubbing in the reverse fixture with Osimhen scoring two goals in that tie.
It will be a well deserved League victory for Osimhen who endured humiliating treatment from his parent club, Napoli at the start of the season before Galatasaray stepped in to offer him a season long loan life line.
He is currently leading the League goals chart with 24 goals going into the remaining three games of the season.
With over 33 goals in all competitions this season so far, the in form Osimhen is set to be involved in another bidding war from top European clubs who are desperate for his signature to bolster their teams for next season.
Manchester United appear to be leading the pack this season with the club said to be ready to offer in excess of 60 million Euros to Napoli for the dangerous striker.
