Former Turkish international and Süper Lig star Emre Belözoğlu has heaped praise on Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, highlighting his significant impact on the Turkish league. Belözoğlu, now a respected football pundit, has observed Osimhen’s performances closely and believes he has brought a new level of intensity and excitement to the Süper Lig.
Osimhen, who joined Napoli from Lille in 2020, has quickly established himself as one of the most formidable strikers in Europe. His pace, power, and clinical finishing have made him a nightmare for defenders, and he has consistently delivered impressive performances for Napoli.
Belözoğlu, who enjoyed a successful career in the Turkish Süper Lig and represented the Turkish national team at multiple international tournaments, has been particularly impressed by Osimhen’s work rate. He has described the Nigerian striker as “very active” and praised his ability to create chances for himself and his teammates.
“Osimhen is a fantastic player,” Belözoğlu said in an interview. “He is very active, always looking to get on the ball and create something. He is a complete striker who can score goals, create chances, and hold up the ball. He has brought a new level of intensity to the Süper Lig.”
Osimhen’s impact on Napoli has been undeniable. The Italian club has enjoyed significant success since his arrival, winning the Serie A title in the 2022-2023 season. Osimhen’s goals and assists have been crucial to Napoli’s success, and he has established himself as one of the most feared strikers in Italian football.
Beyond his individual performances, Osimhen has also had a positive impact on the Turkish Süper Lig as a whole. His presence has attracted more attention to the league from fans and media around the world, and he has helped to raise the profile of Turkish football.
As Osimhen continues to excel in the Süper Lig, there is growing speculation about his future. The Nigerian striker has been linked with a move to one of Europe’s top clubs, and it remains to be seen whether he will remain in Turkey beyond the current season.
Regardless of his future, Osimhen’s impact on the Turkish Süper Lig will be felt for years to come. His performances have been a source of inspiration for young players in Turkey, and he has helped to elevate the level of competition in the league.
Belözoğlu’s praise for Osimhen is further validation of the Nigerian striker’s talent and impact. As Osimhen continues to develop his game, he has the potential to become one of the greatest strikers of his generation.
