Pascal Nouma Hails Victor Osimhen as the Best Striker in Turkish Süper Lig

Former Paris Saint-Germain and Beşiktaş forward Pascal Nouma has declared Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as the best striker in the Turkish Süper Lig.

Speaking to Ekol Sports, Nouma ranked Osimhen above other top forwards in the league, including Youssef En-Nesyri, Mauro Icardi, Edin Džeko, and Ciro Immobile.

"The best striker in Turkey right now is Victor Osimhen. Then I would rank En-Nesyri, Icardi, Džeko, and Immobile," Nouma said.

Osimhen’s Dominance in Turkey

Since joining Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, Osimhen has been nothing short of exceptional. With 26 goals across all competitions, the Nigerian forward has become a nightmare for defenders in Turkey. His clinical finishing, speed, and relentless pressing have made him stand out, solidifying his reputation as one of Europe’s elite strikers.

Beyond club football, Osimhen has also delivered for Nigeria, scoring three goals in the Super Eagles’ last two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

Opinion: Osimhen Proving His Worth Once Again

Nouma’s assessment speaks volumes about Osimhen’s quality. Despite a challenging start to the season due to injuries and speculation about his future at Napoli, he has adapted quickly to life in Turkey. His ability to perform at the highest level, whether in Serie A, the Champions League, or now the Turkish Süper Lig, proves he is more than just a one-season wonder.

With his loan spell at Galatasaray boosting his form, the question remains—will Napoli welcome him back next season, or will another European giant come calling?
