Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has reaffirmed his commitment to Galatasaray, insisting he will continue to give everything for the Turkish champions following his match-winning performance against Fenerbahçe.
The Nigerian international scored twice as Galatasaray secured a crucial 2-1 victory over their Istanbul rivals on Monday, October 26, 2026, to reclaim top spot in the Turkish Süper Lig.
Osimhen opened the scoring in the 29th minute before doubling his side’s advantage shortly before half-time. Although Fenerbahçe pulled one back in the second half, Galatasaray held on to claim all three points.
The 27-year-old’s performance came after he faced criticism over his recent displays. However, the striker made it clear that he remains focused on helping the club achieve its objectives rather than allowing negative comments on social media to distract him.
Speaking after the derby, Osimhen expressed his love for Galatasaray and praised the supporters for standing by him since his arrival.
“I love this club. I always say it. I will give everything for this club. I don’t care about social media. I see the fans. Galatasaray fans have always been behind me since I arrived,” Osimhen said, according to the club’s official website.
Furthermore, the former Napoli striker acknowledged the support the fans have extended to him and his family, explaining that their backing means more to him than criticism from outside the club.
He also expressed confidence that Galatasaray could achieve greater success, stressing that his attention remains firmly on the team.
Meanwhile, Osimhen highlighted the importance of winning high-profile matches, particularly in the race for the Turkish league title.
According to the Nigerian forward, Galatasaray’s victory over Fenerbahçe was a result of the team’s performance, the supporters’ backing and the players’ ability to follow the coach’s instructions.
Winning derbies is crucial for becoming champions. We managed to win this big derby and get three points. We are happy because of the team, the performance, and the fans,” he added.
With the derby victory secured, Osimhen has once again underlined his importance to Galatasaray’s ambitions this season.
The striker also made it clear that the club’s targets extend beyond domestic football, insisting that the team wants to compete for every available trophy, regardless of the competition.
Osimhen’s latest display provides another reminder of his attacking quality, while his public declaration of commitment will further reassure supporters of his determination to deliver success in Istanbul.
