Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

[Agbam]

Just noticed that Nigerians are leading the goalscoring charts in both the first and second divisions in Turkey:

🇹🇷 Süper Lig
⚽ Victor Osimhen — 5 goals
🇹🇷 TFF 1. Lig
⚽ Kelechi Iheanacho — 6 goals

Victor Osimhen continues his impressive form for Galatasaray and game after game he keeps showing class and why he’s the top man, it’s just unfortunate he’s not getting attention from Europe.
Kelechi Iheanacho has redefined himself in the Turkish second division and has become a talisman for his club.

Victor Osimhen has just recorded his 6th goal in an ongoing match between Istanbul Basaksehir versus Galatasaray. It is amazing to see Osimhen continue his goalscoring spree as he has now scored in all 4 matches of Galatasaray so far. I also can't figure the reason why Osimhen has faced challenges in signing for a big team in Europe's top leagues like the La Liga and the EPL, but inasmuch as he is doing well at the club he's playing presently, he should be happy.
Kelechi Iheanacho was a player that was performing well when he was playing at Leicester City, it's been long a head about him but it is good to know that he's also playing impressively in the Turkish second division.

The Turkish league has given many African players a good platform to excel in their careers. Victor Osimhen was almost stranded in his last season at Napoli, as he was even frozen out of the first team by new coach Antonio Conte. Galatasaray gave him a lifeline, and today he is doing well in Turkey.

I didn't know that Kelechi Iheanacho was at a second-division club in Turkey. I have seen some of his performance video clips on social media, and I would have to say that the TFF First League has good quality compared to others.

They should keep scoring and helping their respective clubs.

🇹🇷 Süper Lig
⚽ Victor Osimhen — 5 goals
🇹🇷 TFF 1. Lig
⚽ Kelechi Iheanacho — 6 goals

Osimhen will end up highest goal scorer in the Turkish League. It's nothing new or surprising when you see a good striker like the player, a well deserved record that will keep running as long the player remains in his best self. I'm highly interested in watching Osimhen play for a bigger club competing for the Champions League, at the prime of his carre age, he should be playing in the Premier League.

Another goal recorded for tonight's game, unfortuntely he didn't get a second goal before the match ended.

Osimhen couldn't continue in today's league match.he is a phenomenal player. i hope he doesn't have a serious injury and can make the trip for the Lisbon match.
we haven't seen this kind of attacking press and aerial dominance at Galatasaray since Hakan Şükür.

[MK-74]

Galatasaray won an important three points tonight.
Hopefully Osimhen isn't injured. If he gets injured, it would be a huge problem for us.
Sara scored a beautiful free kick goal and gave his team the victory.
Torreira's second goal was also really nice. They scored a beautiful goal with a one-touch passing move.
I liked Leão. Even though he isn't fully fit yet, he played well tonight.

[Balmain]

Osimhen's goal was truly spectacular. We also saw Leao in the game today. Although his playing time wasn't very long, he brought dynamism to the game on the left wing and showed that he can be effective. Having players like him in form is very important for Galatasaray in the later stages of the season. However, there are still serious question marks on the defensive side. The team's attacking quality is excellent, but the team shouldn't rely solely on its offensive capabilities.

[kizilhare]

I watched the highlights of the Başakşehir-Galatasaray match. Galatasaray deserved the win, though they had to work hard for the three points. This match gave us a clear look at the difference in how Galatasaray plays with and without Osimhen.
We saw a very effective Galatasaray side right up until he got injured and left the pitch; once he went off, Başakşehir created their first real chance.
The goal Torreira scored for Galatasaray is a contender for goal of the season. I’m not a Galatasaray fan, but I really loved that goal. I think Başakşehir manager
Nuri Şahin should make his players watch that goal over and over again. It might be a beautiful goal for Galatasaray, but it certainly wasn't a good one for Başakşehir to concede.
It’s also impossible to understand how Sánchez's goal was ruled offside.
Whatever happened to the plan to bring "chipped" balls to the league? Chipped balls are the best solution for offside calls. I don't trust the VAR officials.
The referees coming from Europe are terrible in their own leagues, too. Galatasaray got a morale boost ahead of the Champions League match.
I hope Osimhen will be able to play in the Sporting Lisbon match.

Leao, along with Osimhen, will pose a significant threat. I think the Portuguese star player has the quality to play for Galatasaray for a long time. Osimhen is the same way. As a Fenerbahçe fan, I wanted Osimhen to transfer to another country He's very strong and constantly causes problems for our defense. I think he'll be the top scorer in Turkey again this year. Considering his quality, you can expect that.

I liken Leao to Leroy Sané back when he first arrived at Galatasaray: he was superb for the first two or three matches, but then started picking and choosing which games to play. What did Sané do on the pitch yesterday? Nothing. Leao will be the same; I’ll be watching him after another two or three games.
Osimhen is the king of this league; he’s on a completely different level.
I hope his injury isn't serious; Galatasaray needs him in Portugal on Tuesday.
Galatasaray secured the three points in a match they should have won easily, even though it turned out to be a struggle. They have reclaimed the top spot in the standings.

It’s very amazing to see Victor Osimehn nack to scoring goals this season. He didn’t win the league top scorer last season due to injuries. Osimehn has now scored 6 goals in first four games of the season. He scored the opening goal against Basaksehir and he was forced to leave the field after he suffered an injury. Osimehn would have score more than one goal, if it were for the injury. But I hope the injury isn’t too bad, otherwise, he will miss the next Champions League match against Sporting.

However, many other European clubs are still interested in signing Osimehn, but the clubs are not ready to pay his wages. Some clubs are requesting him to reduce his wages before they can sign him. Osimehn has now produced 6 goals and two assists in four games. Iheanacho, on the other hand is doing well in 1 Lig after playing for Celtic last season and win the league title.

Galatasaray secured the three points in a match they should have won easily, even though it turned out to be a struggle. They have reclaimed the top spot in the standings.

Perhaps that's why he didn't want to push himself too hard, because he wants to play in the Champions League. He performed very well with Galatasaray in the Champions League last year. If he had been at any other big team, he probably would have scored at least ten goals in the Champions League last year. I expect great success from Osimhen in this year's Champions League adventure, which will start in Portugal.

[pewboy]

Last season, Osimhen had challenging injury that affected and made him absent in some matches but he was still able to come out as the top goal scorer so I don't see any player who can beat him this season because his is so spectacular and clinical when it has to do with scoring goals. Napoli really lost a great striker in Osimhen if not they would have dominated the Serie A just the same way Juventus dominated it some years ago before it started being rotational.

It's absolutely possible. It is probably also the most probable of the situation, that Osimhen can become the top scorer again this year. However, he plays the role of first striker and is the player who probably receives the most opportunities to score. So it wouldn't surprise me if he succeeded again this year.

Furthermore, he is currently the highest quality striker in the Turkish Super League. Fenerbahçe signed Romelu Lukaku, Beşiktaş signed Dusan Vlahovic, and the striker competition from Italy has moved to Turkey. However, I still think Osimhen will be successful. We haven't seen such high-quality strikers in Turkey in recent years. This year their numbers are increasing, and we can expect exciting matches. Osimhen's magnificent goal against Başakşehir showed us this once again. Unfortunately, he got injured and had to leave the game.

To compare Osimhen and Iheanacho, they would need to be playing in the same league.
The Scottish league is not particularly challenging. This season, Iheanacho is playing in Türkiye's First League—the tier below the Süper Lig—whereas Osimhen is competing in the Süper Lig. Iheanacho is a good player, too, but right now, he cannot be compared to Osimhen; the league levels are not equal. I wouldn't be surprised if Iheanacho scores over 30 goals with Bursaspor this season, given that the First League consists of 20 teams and a 38-week schedule. Five matches have already been played, leaving 33 more; we could well see a performance exceeding the 30-goal mark.
I believe Osimhen would also surpass 30 league goals, provided he avoids injury. He scored again yesterday but picked up an injury, and it is unclear how long his recovery will take.

There's no comparison between Osimhen and Iheanacho here. The point was driving at the fact that the two top scorers of both the first tier and second tier football are both Nigerians. Osimhen is a great player and a good finisher. He has always been outstanding since his arrival at the Turkish club. He has the opportunity to win the golden boot if he beats injuries. Buruk don't like to see Osimhen out of his champions league encounter with sporting and has pend his decision based on the result from the medical department. From Osimhen's reaction after the game, it doesn't seem to be a very serious injury so he would still be on the pitch. I am happy that he doesn't force himself to play even when he notices a possible injury, that will prevent missing out for a long time.

Iheanacho is a good player too since his days at Leicester city and Celtic where he won a domestic double last season and he scored in both final games of the titles. I don't know how possible it will be for the two Nigerians to win the top scorers in Turkiye this season, but we now know they are out to score goals.

[Phoenix Anka]

There will be a match between Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe tonight. It's unknown who will win, but I think Fenerbahçe fans will be there in full force. I expect the stadium to be full, as derby matches are usually like that. It's also worth noting that the rivalry between Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe is important for Galatasaray and Trabzonspor as well. Both Galatasaray and Trabzonspor are contenders for the championship this year. Although Trabzonspor didn't get the result they wanted this week, Galatasaray managed to win their match yesterday with a goal from Gabriel Sara in the 90th minute. Now they are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the Fenerbahçe-Beşiktaş match. We can say that the winner of this match will continue in the championship race with Galatasaray.

[Slow death]

Yesterday I took the time to watch the Turkish Super League game. Since it was a game I put on my parlay, I decided to watch the whole thing. I'm talking about this game:

İstanbul 2 - 3 Galatasaray

I confess that I really enjoyed watching this game yesterday; it was well worth taking the time to watch it. Galatasaray, on paper, was the favorite for me, although I also didn't expect them to have an easy game, and that's what I saw during the match. When Victor Osimhen scored in the 16th minute, I even thought that perhaps the game could take a turn for complete dominance by Galatasaray, but then came the substitution of Victor Osimhen in the 32nd minute, which worried me because Galatasaray hasn't been doing very well in games without Victor Osimhen.

And that's what happened in the following minutes, in the 66th minute a penalty against Galatasaray and an equalizing goal, and I started to get even more worried because the İstanbul players were very dangerous in attack. Then, in the next minute, the Galatasaray coach brought on Rafael Leão, who helped the team a lot; he had a great game yesterday. But the player who saved the team yesterday, I'm talking about Gabriel Sara, deserves praise; that guy saved Galatasaray in yesterday's game.

Great shot:



 

It seems to me that Victor Osimhen is going down the same path as Neymar when it comes to being constantly injured:

Galatasaray coach addresses Victor Osimhen injury concern

source: https://soccernet.ng/2026/09/galatasaray-victor-osimhen-injury-concern.html

The league games have only just started, it's only round 4 and he's already injured, even if they say the injury isn't serious, it's still an injury.

[Hvdv]

Last season, Osimhen had challenging injury that affected and made him absent in some matches but he was still able to come out as the top goal scorer so I don't see any player who can beat him this season because his is so spectacular and clinical when it has to do with scoring goals.

Furthermore, he is currently the highest quality striker in the Turkish Super League. Fenerbahçe signed Romelu Lukaku, Beşiktaş signed Dusan Vlahovic, and the striker competition from Italy has moved to Turkey. However, I still think Osimhen will be successful. We haven't seen such high-quality strikers in Turkey in recent years. This year their numbers are increasing, and we can expect exciting matches. Osimhen's magnificent goal against Başakşehir showed us this once again. Unfortunately, he got injured and had to leave the game.

Osimhen is the fittest and best-performing striker among these forwards. He's also familiar with the league, having played for Galatasaray for several years. He has the potential to become top scorer in Turkey again without pushing himself too hard. In fact, the Nigerian striker could play as a main striker for any team in the world today. Galatasaray is fortunate to have him. Having a player of this talent and quality at such a young age is also an advantage for Galatasaray in the Champions League. Osimhen had a very effective performance with Galatasaray in the Champions League last year.

[Valcendier]

We’ll be watching one of the first derbies of the season. In this match, where Fenerbahçe will host Beşiktaş at home, Fenerbahçe will naturally be the favorite. Although Fenerbahçe’s loss in the first week threw a wrench in their plans, they bounced back immediately with two wins afterward. They’ll face a tough challenge against Beşiktaş, as they’ll be up against a team that scored six goals in their last match. Defensively, I hope the home team doesn’t run into any problems in this match. I think there’s a high potential for plenty of goals in this game.
