Super Eagles star, Victor Osimhen, has recounted his decision to join Turkish side Galatasaray.

Osimhen opened up on the role the coach played and his personal connection with the team.

He made these revelations in an interview with Mikel Obi on The ObiOne Podcast on Thursday.

He said, “Most of them say they didn’t believe that Osimhen was going to come to their club. But for me, it was easy because the coach played a huge role in making me come here.

“I also watched their game because I’m very close to Dries. Even before I dreamed of coming here, I used to watch their game a lot.

“When I spoke with the coach, he told me about the project and what the club had set for itself this season. I think we have the same mindset.

“The symbol of the club is a lion, and I think I fall into this category in terms of the way I play and how I’ve survived through life’s journey. So for me, it was quite easy to accept this club.”
