“Victor is a great player and, more importantly, a great team player,” Buruk said. “While many strikers focus only on scoring, Osimhen plays for the team. He presses, he runs, he links play and helps everyone around him.”
The Galatasaray boss added that Osimhen’s all-round game has had a positive effect on the squad, both tactically and mentally.
“His attitude lifts the entire team,” Buruk noted. “He sets the tone with his commitment and energy, and that is very important for us.”
Osimhen’s performances continue to draw admiration in Turkey, with his blend of goals, movement and teamwork reinforcing his reputation as one of Africa’s top forwards.
