Thousands of Galatasaray fans gathered at the Istanbul Airport, Turkey, to welcome Super Eagles star, Victor Osimhen, with enthusiasm and excitement on Monday.
Despite arriving at 3:30am, Osimhen was met with cheers and chants.
He appeared thrilled as fans sang and chanted his name, creating a memorable moment.
The warm reception marked the beginning of Osimhen’s loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray, a deal completed after the European transfer window closed.
The Turkish side will cover his €10m salary, reportedly paying €8.8m, with a break clause in January for top clubs.
Osimhen’s arrival was highly anticipated, with fans waiting all night to catch a glimpse of him.
The 25-year-old Nigerian striker will undergo medical tests on Tuesday morning, ahead of joining the Galatasaray’s Europa League squad.
