Former Turkish referee and TV pundit Ahmet Çakar stated that if [Victor Osimhen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Osimhen) were to sign for any English side, he would end the season as the Premier League’s top scorer. Çakar made the remark while analysing the 27‑year‑old’s showing in Galatasaray’s mid‑week Champions League tie against Barcelona.
He told viewers on the Libero TV YouTube channel, “Osimhen, you know, he could play for any team in the world, he’d be the top scorer in the Premier League.” He added that although the striker had just returned from injury, the quality of his performance in that match was striking.
Key points:
- Osimhen is 27 years old and recently recovered from a muscle injury.
- The comment followed Galatasaray’s Champions League encounter with Barcelona.
- Çakar believes the Nigerian forward could excel in any league, especially England’s top flight.
- Galatasaray will next host Gençlerbirliği in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday afternoon.
What did Çakar emphasise? He highlighted the player’s physical attributes and finishing ability, suggesting that such traits would translate into a high goal tally in England’s most competitive league.
The upcoming domestic fixture offers Osimhen another platform to showcase his form before any potential move abroad.
