@Pokapoka124 I didn't see the goal because there were premier league matches to watch at the time but now that you've mentioned it, I will definitely see the highlights soon. And yes, I agree that Victor Oshimen needs to play in a team that will bring out the best in him. If you think about it, it's the reasons why Mbappe and Haaland both chose to go for two of the best teams in the world. Oshimen needs that too. Napoli tried to dim his light so bad on multiple occasions.

Man did you all see Victor Osimhen’s bicycle kick goal? What a goal. I can’t wait to see him wear the Super Eagles shirt again and score this kind of goal for Nigeria. At this point, I don’t even think Osimhen should go for Chelsea. He’s not going to stay at Gala for sure, his next move should be to a club like Real Madrid that can give him great PR and media attention so he can get his flowers as one of the best strikers in modern football.

I was unable to watch the game because I had my eyes fixed on another game at the time Galatasaray was playing but I was able to see video footage of the goal and that I think can only come from a world class striker. The last time I saw such acrobatic goal was when Cristiano Ronaldo used same style to power a shot past Gianlugi Buffon in the UEFA Champions League. I don't think the Nigerian striker have a better goal in his entire career than what I saw today.

The first goal that got cancelled was even more lit and well calculated than most goals in the premier league. As simple as it looked, he actually struggled really hard to stay in line with the defender just to avoid the offside flag but, wasn't accurate enough.
The bicycle kick was also a well timed goal which he knew he had to score to add some points/ trophies to his treasury. Osimhen's height is a huge advantage for him, although he doesn't dribble much.

He’s not going to stay at Gala for sure, his next move should be to a club like Real Madrid that can give him great PR and media attention so he can get his flowers as one of the best strikers in modern football.

what he needs is a club that'll be supportive with a great understanding of what it means to make "progress" not the media attention whatsoever.

Now that's why the league you play in matters and have alot to of role to play in your career. Playing in a league that don't get much display in football loving nations can make people not know about the things you're doing.

Imagine if this was scored in the premier league, it won't stop getting accolades all through the season and the goal might even win him the player of the month, goal of the month and probably other award like the Puskás award.

But since the goal was scored in a lesser league, it won't get the hype it deserves. There's a reason Mbappe left PSG in the french league to Real Madrid in La Liga (it's to boast his career).

Osimhen needs to take the next flight out of that league in January transfer to where his worth will be appreciated before he gets out of the spotlight and losses his chances. It was a great goal though.

Osimhen is a quality player and he has the talent to compete with euro best players when it comes to quality and deliveries as an attacker. Osimhen was too good that he conquered Italian Seria A. So I'm not really surprised in what he is doing presently at Galatasary, a league that's less competitive than the Seria A in terms of rating. If Barcelona hadn't got a player like Lewandowski, Osimhen would have been better suited for Barcelona. Another thing I think is this, why is Haaland and Mbappe getting more hype than Osimhen? Does it have to do with his Nationality or what exactly? Even when it's obvious that Osimhen has remained at the top level ever since he came into fame. He is not a one season wonder and he has proven that time and time again. If it was Haaland or Mbappe that scored this kind of goal and showed this kind of performance, it would have been in all media outlets today. Why is Osimhen not rated at same level with these guys?

You are right any players who wants to go far will be very selective in choosing the club they will go because sometimes is not always about being the best player of a certain club because even if you have the best performance and score the highest goal but you are still not regarded as the best outside the club is a waste of talent, so you are right about Mbappe it was because of his plan that made him go for another club, so Osimhen should also try as much as possible to leave the club immediately he completed his contract on the 2025 because I no that they would like to offer him a contract extension, so he should turned down such offer and take a flight far away from there because if you ask me, I would say he is wasting his talent because he needs to be competing with players in his level in more reputable league than being on where he is. However I would also say the same thing to Ademola Lookman though his league is a bit better than Osimhen but he also needs to leave the club because I believe their are more big things await for him, so actually I will be very glad to see those two Nigerians players playing for the right club.

one thing i like about osimehn is that he constantly proves himself both at the national level and in the club side. That acrobatic you saw there was just sensational and the calmness and composure was just on another level. It's good to see him back on the field and hopefully if there's ever a reschedule of the Nigeria Libya game or in the games we will be playing from next month, we will have a full house and see this kind of performance from our stars. In this current squared of the super eagles, osimehn has set a standard that none of the players have measured up to.

On another note, it's circulating on the news that our Bayern Leverkusen man, Victor Boniface got involved in a car accident that damaged his car and got him bleeding really profusely. I can't even confirm his current health condition but let's just hope that everything is okay with him.

I saw the news online, Victor Boniface is yet to confirm the report. The only thing he’s posted since is “God is the greatest”. I found the video of the said car accident, the videos shows a crashed vehicle and an injured hand. I can’t confirm if it is Boniface though since his face did not appear in the video.

We thank God that Victor Boniface is in good health and will be on the pitch to score more goals for Leverkusen and entertain us with more memes.

Many Nigerians do not watch the Turkish League. Most of our fan clubs are in the Premier League or La Liga. If not for sports betting, some of us might not even pay attention to teams outside the top 4 leagues in Europe. Victor Osimhen is the reason why I picked interest in the Süper Lig, for as long as he’s at the club I will do my best to watch all Galatasaray games.  

Victor Osimhen work rate is on another level, Napoli did not appreciate him and wanted to use him as a cash cow for other teams to buy. I hope he can get a club that will boost his career next year.

Currently one of Africa finest when it comes to goal scoring and also entertainment in the sport of football. The man was the core and center of bayer Leverkusen success last season and also he is at it again this season and also a beautiful addition to the Nigerian attack force and it would be devastating if anything were to happen to him.

The total goals he had scored in this season in is seven goals in ten games. And he was preparing a match  Leverkusen Champions League with Breast on Wednesday this week. The accident was serious but he sustained only small injury in his hand according to some sources posted on Facebook. And all he said was "God says my time hasn't come". We really thank God that nothing really happened to him.
Nothing should happen to him because we still have Qualifiers to play in the African Nations Cup and the World Cup. Victor Osimhen also has an injury and if Boniface also added to it then there will be a problem in the National Team. We thank God for everything for his survival.

Victor Osimhen is not a English player so he won’t get the media PR and hype that’s being given to players like Cole Palmer, Foden e.t.c. Osimhen is not going to win awards if he continues to play in lower leagues. In order to be considered one of the best, he has to make a move to one of the top clubs in Europe. Most of the awards in football are just based on skill and stats, the voting is also based on popularity contest. Victor Osimhen would need the backing of a top club if he has any desire to win a Ballon d’Or in his career.

You are really right about this, people don’t really have interest in the league, if not for Victor Osimhen, I don’t even think I have sat down to watch any match in the league before, the only time I see about those clubs is whenever I open flashscore, but since Victor Osimhen joined, whenever I am free and I know that Galatasaray are having match, I do decide to watch it, but not really all their matches. Like their last match, I couldn’t watch it, my attention was in Premier League matches played, but I saw the goal scored by Victor Osimhen on Facebook, it was really a nice one. How I wish Victor Osimhen was playing in another league. I am sure it would have been better.

Don’t worry, that deal will happen very soon. After the Napoli saga, people thought Victor Osimhen was finished and would not be able to deliver in Galatasaray but Victor Osimhen is not just scoring absolute bangers but giving assists as well. There will be high demand for his signature in January, I just hope Napoli will not frustrate the deal this time with their demands.

Victor Boniface through his official social media handle have confirmed that he actually got involved in a fatal accident but luckily for him, he didn't sustain too much injuries. From the picture, it's very visible that he had a cut on his forehead but that wasn't a big deal of we compare it to how fast the accident was. Thank God we didn't lose the prolific Nigeria striker today, he's fine and responding to treatment.

I didn't say osimhen was an English player like you so claim, I was only tryna make you understand the effect of the media and it's hype on these players... Let's look at the case of the little ansu fati in his prime... What happened? Publicity killed his dreams and shattered his career, even before injuries started hovering on him.. take a look at his records now... Very impressive right? I was expecting a better response from you.

Most of the awards in football are just based on skill and stats, the voting is also based on popularity contest. Victor Osimhen would need the backing of a top club if he has any desire to win a Ballon d’Or in his career.

Ofcourse he has a good desired to fill up his trophy bags and cabinet which is exactly why he rejected the famous Saudi deal.. The fact is that his age is greatly a big disadvantage for him and, for any club that'd find an interest, a major point/area of concern. Secondly, his release clause!! I so wish he gets a better opportunity after this..
note: This is basically about LONG TERM CONTRACTS

Absolutely — I'm inclined to agree with you 100%. I watched both of Galatasaray's recent Europa league games primarily because of Victor Oshimen so I could watch him play. I wouldn't watch it if he wasn't part of the team. I just check the results as always.

Yes, It's Napoli's loss and I hope they come to regret it sooner rather than later. You can have an elite, goal-hungry striker like that and treat him like shit. The only team I see fitting for him right now would be PSG. Real Madrid is first choice but he would get over shadowed by Mbappe obviously.

The scouts who need to see that his performance has not declined saw that goal and will still be looking out for him. He may not be getting all the media hype currently, but if he keeps performing like this, the chances of him landing in the English Premier League by January or even a better club in another league that can assure him trophies will be higher.

Do you think Chelsea will still be interested in him since Jackson and Nkunku are doing very well for Chelsea?

Victor Boniface through his official social media handle have confirmed that he actually got involved in a fatal accident but luckily for him, he didn't sustain too much injuries.

It is good news that the injuries he sustained and the accident were not very serious because that would have been a tragedy that was very unexpected at this moment. We just finished hearing and mourning the death of George Baldock, who drowned; another bad news would have been terrible.

[Zigabel]

Man did you all see Victor Osimhen’s bicycle kick goal? What a goal. I can’t wait to see him wear the Super Eagles shirt again and score this kind of goal for Nigeria. At this point, I don’t even think Osimhen should go for Chelsea. He’s not going to stay at Gala for sure, his next move should be to a club like Real Madrid that can give him great PR and media attention so he can get his flowers as one of the best strikers in modern football.

What a supersonic reflex from the Nigerian international, I always knew he's of a huge potential that is very much undoubtable and it could be a reason Napoli decided to rather affect his mind and get his career to a ruin but no boy has got a top tier career mindset and from here he's going to set another pace to project him for a stage beyond that which Napoli can ever offer but will regret treating him the way they did. At this point almost every team across Europe seeing him will clamor to have him as their striker and for the Chelsea deal, they have good strikers current but the essence isn't something they will be told as it's even clear now that he will be worth every penny.

I saw the news as an update on my pixel browser today... Without even opening the full story, I was already sad when I saw his pictures, a crushed vehicle and a oneliner that says : Victor Boniface is[.....]
Was like damnnnn, what's happening?? I'm glad he's okay.

another bad news would have been terrible.

Exactly, worst fear unlocked!... It took me a little while to get convinced that this story is true and that he's okay with little injuries sustained.
