Volkan Demirel, a sports analyst, has named Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray the greatest striker in Turkish Super Lig history.

Demirel made his statement after Galatasaray’s 4-1 Champions League loss to Barcelona.
Even football greats like Nicolas Anelka—who played for Fenerbahçe in the Turkish Super Lig from 2005 to 2006—don’t compare to the Nigerian international, in his opinion.
No man of this stature will ever again accompany you after this. Demirel stated, as cited by Sami Yen Gündem, that although numerous famous faces have visited this country in the past, such as Anelka, Niang, Gomis, Sørloth, and Mario Gomez, Osimhen is truly exceptional.
After transferring from Napoli to Galatasaray, Osimhen has been instrumental for the Turkish team.
