Football expert Emre Bol has hailed Victor Osimhen for the player’s respectful attitude towards veteran striker Mauro Icardi.
He also praised the Super Eagles of Nigeria attacker for his humility and for putting the team first.
Victor Osimhen scored a hat-trick to help Galatasaray defeat Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray in the summer of 2025, becoming the most expensive signing in Turkish football history.
Bol, a commentator with Ekol Sports, highlighted Osimhen’s excellent rapport with Icardi.
“Osimhen still treats Icardi like a brother, like a king. The guy has zero ego. Osimhen has no ego at all,” Habersarikirmizi quoted Bol as saying.
“You’re the star of the team, the most expensive player, you score constantly. It really strikes me as odd that he’s so modest.
“You won’t find a player like that very often. He’s also been very supportive of Barış Alper.
“It was the last penalty, Osimhen went and gave the ball to Sane and said, ‘You score.’ Even though he was going to score his first hat-trick in the Champions League, he gave the ball to Sane. This is a sign of unity within the team,” Bol added.
Galatasaray’s next game is against Kocaelispor on Sunday, and Osimhen will be looking to reach double figures in goals at club level.
DAILY POST can report authoritatively that Victor Osimhen, who left Napoli for Galatasaray in the summer of 2025, single-handedly helped Nigeria qualify for the playoff of the 2026 World Cup, where they will face Gabon in a few days.
Osimhen scored a hat-trick in the last Group C game against Benin Republic, with Nigeria beating their next-door neighbours 4-0 to book a place in Morocco.
