“Send this Osimhen back” – Former Besiktas forward cries out after Galatasaray win

Former Besiktas forward Batuhan Karadeniz has delivered a scathing assessment of Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen following Galatasaray’s 2-1 victory over Besiktas, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Nigerian attacker joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli during the summer transfer window and has made an immediate impact since his arrival.

Karadeniz, speaking to Turkish outlet SuperHaber, shared his thoughts on Osimhen’s playing style and influence, suggesting that the Napoli star’s presence in the league could be considered unfair competition, given his relentless energy and ability to dominate on the field.

The former forward seemed frustrated by Osimhen’s versatility and stamina, noting his involvement in both defensive and offensive plays, which Karadeniz believes disrupts the league’s balance.

According to the former Trabzonspor forward, Osimhen’s tenacity on the pitch has made him a standout, with an impact that appears overwhelming to his competitors.

“What kind of a player is this? I have never seen such a player! Send him back, whoever is taking him, Osimhen has become a scourge to the Super League,” Karadeniz exclaimed, as quoted by SuperHaber.

Osimhen has scored four goals and provided two assists in five domestic league appearances for Galatasaray, including a powerful 67th-minute header to secure Okan Buruk’s men their fourth straight victory this season.
