Galatasaray assistant coach Ismael Garcia Gomez has praised Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen for his incredible physical strength and work rate for the club.
In a chat with Marca, he pointed out that it is incredibly rare to find a footballer who combines Osimhen’s height, sheer speed, and coordination.
He also hailed the Nigerian forward as one of the finest strikers in world football, placing him among the top five attackers on the planet. “We have very top-level players, but in my opinion, Osimhen is among the world’s top three to five strikers,” Gomez said.
“He possesses an extremely high level and impressive physical strength. He presses, he defends, and he works tirelessly for the team. “In addition, he has the ability to influence the opposing defence even in moments when he is not heavily involved in the game.”
Osimhen has enjoyed a remarkable spell since arriving at Galatasaray from Napoli, continuing the prolific form that established him as one of Europe’s elite goalscorers. His performances have attracted interest from several heavyweight clubs, including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Chelsea.
The 27-year-old has become one of the most feared forwards in Europe thanks to his pace, aerial prowess, relentless pressing, and eye for goal.
With the summer transfer window approaching, speculation over his future continues to intensify, with several elite clubs reportedly monitoring his situation.
Osimhen remains a key figure for both Galatasaray and the Super Eagles, and his growing reputation among football’s leading coaches further underlines his status as one of the game’s most complete center-forwards.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has widened its lead over the Accord Party in a fresh results update released by the APC Social Media and Situation Room Team during the ongoing Osun State governorship election.
The update, released at 3:40 p.m., showed below.
According to the update, the figures were compiled from 508 polling units so far.
The latest figures put the APC ahead of Accord by 1,320 votes, representing a notable increase from the earlier margin reported by the party’s situation room.
The figures indicate a closely fought contest between the APC and Accord, with the two leading parties separated by just over 1,000 votes based on the results presented.
The APC Situation Room described the figures as “real-time updates”, suggesting that additional results are still expected from other polling units across the state.
However, the figures have not been independently verified and should not be regarded as the official result of the election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) remains responsible for the verification, collation and declaration of the final governorship election results.
With results from only 508 polling units reflected in the latest update, the overall outcome remains uncertain, particularly as more results are expected from across Osun’s local government areas.
The narrowing or widening of the margin in subsequent updates could significantly shape expectations about the eventual winner.
Note: The figures reported above are based solely on the APC Social Media and Situation Room Team’s update shown in the supplied image and remain subject to official verification by INEC.
