Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen was mobbed by Galatasaray fans at the Istanbul Airport, on Monday as he arrived in the country ahead of completing a loan move from Napoli.

Before the Nigerian striker left Italy via a private jet, images of a crowd waiting for him at the airport began to surface on social media.

When Osimhen eventually touched down in Turkey, he was accorded a heroic welcome.

The fans sang chants and clapped joyfully, with Osimhen reciprocating their affection by joining in.

The 25-year-old is set to sign a one-year loan deal with Galatasaray.

It is understood that the deal has a break clause in January, which allows Osimhen leave for another club if Galatasaray receive a fee.

Napoli have also reduced Osimhen’s release clause to 75 million Euros

The urgency for Galatasaray to secure a striker has intensified following Mauro Icardi’s injury. The Argentine forward, who has been crucial to the team’s attack, is now sidelined, leaving a significant gap in their attack.

Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray is a major coup for the Turkish side. The Nigerian striker has been one of the most sought-after talents in European football, attracting interest from several top clubs.
