By Wale Mustapha
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has expressed confidence in his striking partnership with Mauro Icardi at Galatasaray, claiming it can overcome any defense.
Since joining Galatasaray on loan from Serie A club Napoli this summer, Osimhen has developed a strong rapport with Icardi.
The duo shone in a thrilling UEFA Europa League match on Wednesday, where Napoli secured a 4-3 victory against Swedish club Elfsborg. Icardi scored a goal, while Osimhen delivered a standout performance.
“When we play together, no defense can stand against us,” Osimhen stated, according to Turkish news outlet Fanatik.
“It’s exhilarating to partner with Icardi; he nearly set me up for an assist, and he’s an exceptional player. Playing alongside him is extraordinary, and I believe no defense will be able to stop us when we’re both on the pitch.”
