'May God give everyone a son-in-law like Osimhen' - Ex-referee calls Galatasaray striker a dream signing

Former referee Ahmet Çakar has heaped praise on Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, calling him a "dream signing" and even going as far as praying that "God gives everyone a son-in-law like Osimhen."

Osimhen, who joined on loan from Napoli, has been impressive since moving to Istanbul, scoring 29 goals and providing six assists in 34 matches across all competitions to ensure the Yellow-Reds are in contention for a domestic double.

His performances have attracted commendation from several Galatasaray faithful including Ahmet Çakar - who lauded his scoring attributes for the Turkish club.

In an interview with the BTV YouTube channel, as reported by habersarikirmizi, Çakar hailed the commitment and dedication of the Nigerian International to the team.

"Osimhen is a great goal scorer. He didn't score a goal but he has a few moves. Like heading the ball in front of him between 3 players... May God give everyone a son-in-law like Osimhen. You can't keep this guy, brother," Ahmet Çakar said.

"The guy is the most expensive and highest-earning player on the field, he's like a 40-year Galatasaray fan, Hal loves him, 

"I see his relationships with his teammates, and Osimhen is a terrifically good transfer. Not just as a player, but as a person too."

The 26-year-old hopes to continue his impressive display and ensure that Galatasaray secures the domestic double at the end of the current campaign.

Osimhen's impressive displays for the Lion have not gone unnoticed ahead of the reopening of the transfer window, with Europe's elite clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Juventus credited with an interest in the 2015 Fifa U17 World Cup Golden Ball winner.
