A Galatasaray fan simply known as Hussein was at the Sardienne Complex in Morocco, the training base of the Super Eagles, to see Victor Osimhen.
Hussein, who revealed that he is from Turkey but was born in Switzerland, described Osimhen as a special and perfect player.
“Special players deserve special love and he is one of a kind,” Hussein said in a chat with journalists.” He’s humble, he’s perfect and that’s why we love him, after Mauro Icardo he was just perfect for us.
“If you have Osimhen in your team you are already 1-0 ahead because he pushes the team forward always. If he score 10 goals he will still be looking for the 11th goal, for him there’s no stopping that’s why we love him.”
This is not the first time a Galatasaray fan will travel from Turkey to show support to Osimhen while on international duty.

Ahead of a crucial matchday 5, 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier between the Super Eagles and Rwanda in Kigali, a female Galatasaray flew from Turkey to support Osimhen.
The Super Eagles won the game 2-0 thanks to two first half goals by Osimhen.
Galatasaray completed the signing of Osimhen from Napoli in a deal that smashed the Turkish transfer record.
Osimhen, who spent last season on loan with the Super Lig side, signed a four-year contract reportedly worth €75m, with a 10% sell-on clause also inserted into the deal.
His arrival easily surpassed the previous record held by Youssef En-Nesyri, who joined Fenerbahce from Sevilla for €20 million in July last year.
He went on to help Galatasaray clinch both the Turkish Super Lig and Cup titles last season.
At the ongoing AFCON in Morocco, Osimhen has scored one goal, which was in the 3-2 win against Tunisia in Group.
He also bagged an assist in the encounter, setting up Ademola Lookman for the third goal.
