Galatasaray drew 1-1 with Spanish side Atletico Madrid, whom they hosted in the 7th week of the UEFA Champions League. After the match, Galatasaray's Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen made statements to the press.
Stating that he does his best for the team, Osimhen said, "I cannot achieve anything without my teammates. It is not right to say that we lose when I am not there. There have been matches we lost when I was there as well.
We will continue to fight together with my teammates. I don't care that much about the match we lost anymore. It is something that has happened and is over. We will continue our struggle in the Champions League and the Süper Lig. We will strive to make Galatasaray even bigger with my teammates," he said.
"I am trying to convince Lookman and Onyedika"
Saying that he has spoken with Nigerian players Ademola Lookman and Raphael Onyedika, who are on Galatasaray's transfer agenda, Osimhen said, "I spoke with Onyedika during the Africa Cup of Nations.
I spoke with Lookman during the matches we played for the World Cup. I told them about the Galatasaray fans, what a big club we are, and the beauty of the country. They are adults. They will make their own decisions.
It would be good for our club, our players, and our fans if they came. Onyedika is a very good player. He plays very fluidly. If he comes here, he will provide many contributions. He is a very talented player. I am trying to convince both of them. I would like them to come to one of the biggest clubs in the world and play with us," he said.
Expressing that he has moved past the position Sara missed in the attack he created in the final minutes of the match, the 27-year-old forward stated, "What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch. We created chances. We deserved to win. They deserved it too. It was a great battle. We talked about this in the dressing room at the end of the match. We will focus on the next match. This match is over for us."
