Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has shared his joy after setting a new goalscoring record at Turkish giants Galatasaray, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Osimhen netted twice on Wednesday night in the Turkish Cup final, helping Galatasaray secure a commanding 3-0 victory over Trabzonspor.

With 35 goals across all competitions this season, Osimhen has now become the highest-scoring foreign player in the club’s history, surpassing the previous record of 34 goals set by Mario Jardel in the 2000/2001 campaign.

“Of course, breaking the record is a great achievement, but I’m especially grateful to my teammates. Yunus, in particular, played a key role today,” Osimhen said.

“Scoring goals brings me joy, but more importantly, I want to give back the support I’ve received since arriving here. Making history with this great club is a special feeling. We’ll keep fighting until the end of the season.”
