Victor Osimhen says he has tried to convince his international teammates Ademola Lookman, and Raphael Onyedika to join him at Galatasaray.
Lookman and Onyedika have been linked with a move to the Yellow and Reds.
Osimhen revealed he has told the duo how “amazing” the Turkish champions are.
“Before playing the World Cup qualifier, I spoke with Lookman. I told him everything about my experience at Galatasaray; how amazing the club and the fans are, and that when he comes here, he’ll feel right at home,” Osimhen said in an interview after Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.
“We talked at length, but in the end, he’s an adult and will make decisions about his future on his own. But if he comes here, it would be great for the club, for the fans, and for the players here.”

He added: “I spoke to Onyedika at the AFCON. I spoke to him before coming back to Istanbul. I hope he’s going to come.
“He has so much quality, he’s a player who is very fluid. He’s very talented.
“I await his response with his agent as well as his club.
“At the end of the day, these two players are professionals and they will decide what is best for them.
“I have only tried to bring them to one of the best clubs in the world.”

Galatasaray is not one of the best clubs in the world far from It!
It’s your choice to sign for Galatasaray please stop pressuring our players to join you!We’re sick of Turkey moves for our players we can do much better!
Actually sir galatasaray is one of thd best…he is right! A club that pays you what even almighty city, real madrid can not pay you. What do you expect…one of the worst?…
No way, onyedika can join you there but not lookman, so u want him their so you can continue the bullying from
Where you stopped or what? If I happen to be one of lookman trusted men, uncle or whatever, I will advised him to cancel the deal even if he has already signed it, a classy winger like lookman won’t be short of suitor, even if to mid table epl.
What do you mean femi? You mean indirectly that osimhen is not a classy striiker that’s why no suitor for him?
Wow I think I have just gotten a fresh revelation…
Thanks femi…
I knew your eyes wiil open one day…
Hahahaha……..why not also add that Lookman should decline SE invitations henceforth as long as Osimhen remains in the national team.
A classy winger like Lookman won’t be short of suitors, yet nearly 2 years after being the 1st man to score a hat-trick in a European final and 1 year after being AFOTY, despite costing just 50m and earning less than 60k per week, those so-called suitors he is not short of haven’t considered him good enough for a dinner date.
When Galatasaray sends the proposed 170k per week offer to him, go and snatch the contract papers and shred them into pieces, ehn.
Lookman should rather sign for teams like Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest and be battling relegation every other season while being bullied by the British press every week……LMAOoo.
Enemies of progress….!
