Turkey: Galatasaray manager Buruk calls Osimhen the best striker in the world.

Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has praised Victor Osimhen, declaring him to be the best striker in the world at the moment. The Nigerian forward has been in sensational form since joining the Turkish Super Lig champions on loan from Napoli this past September. Osimhen has made an immediate impact, scoring eight goals in his first nine appearances for Galatasaray, solidifying his place as one of Europe’s top attacking talents.

In contrast, Erling Haaland, widely regarded as one of the best strikers globally, has also been impressive for Manchester City, netting 15 goals in 16 appearances. Despite Haaland’s strong performance, Buruk believes Osimhen currently holds the edge over the Norwegian due to his recent form.

Speaking to Turkish sports website Assist Analiz, Buruk explained his reasoning: “There are not many elite strikers in Europe right now. Haaland may come to mind first, but considering that Manchester City has experienced a few setbacks in recent weeks, I would say Osimhen is the best striker at the moment.”
