'I've never seen a player as hungry as Osimhen in my life' - Pundit waxes lyrical about Galatasaray star

Turkish football pundit Ersin Düzen has lauded the character of Victor Osimhen following his stunning hat-trick against Antalyaspor on Friday night.

The Nigerian striker delivered a masterclass performance, scoring three goals in Galatasaray's emphatic 4-0 victory at Rams Park, a result that propelled him to the top of the Turkish Super Lig scorers' chart.

Osimhen, who joined the Yellow-Reds last summer, has been a standout performer, tallying 20 league goals and providing four assists in 22 appearances.

His relentless drive and hunger for goals have set him apart as one of the most dangerous strikers in the league.

Following his masterclass performance, renowned Galatasaray insider Ersin Düzen heaped praise on the 26-year-old, emphasizing his relentless hunger for goals.

In quotes related by habersarikirmizi, TV100 commentator Düzen emphasized Osimhen's relentless hunger for goals as the key factor that sets him apart from other players.

"There is a player who does everything that everyone around him cannot do. Can such a player exist? You watch the man on the field like this," he said. 

"The man does not stop, man. I have never seen a player as hungry as Osimhen in my life. This is the most valuable part for me.

"I played professional football for 16-17 years, I have never been so hungry, I have never sat at the table so hungry. We played many matches but it did not happen.

"The man is hungry even when it is 3-0, hungry even when he has made a hat-trick. The man lives only for goals and is always in the game."

Osimhen's remarkable form has not gone unnoticed by the Nigerian national team, as he has been named in the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle will be counting on Osimhen to continue his impressive run as Nigeria aims to secure crucial victories in their bid to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
