Victor Osimhen has moved up to third place on Galatasaray’s all-time list of highest-scoring foreign players following another impressive performance for the Turkish champions.
The Nigeria international scored twice as Galatasaray defeated Erzurum FK 4-0 on Friday night, taking his goal tally for the club to 62 in 76 appearances.
According to Turkish sports outlet A Spor on X, Osimhen’s brace moved him past former Czech Republic international Milan Baros, who scored 61 goals during his time with the Istanbul club.
The 27-year-old has also provided 16 assists since joining Galatasaray.
Only two players now rank ahead of Osimhen on the club’s foreign scorers’ list.
Argentine striker Mauro Icardi leads the ranking with 77 goals, while Romanian legend Gheorghe Hagi is second with 72.
Osimhen is also enjoying a remarkable start to the new Turkish Süper Lig season.
His two goals against Erzurum FK took his tally to at least four goals in Galatasaray’s opening two league matches, making him the first player since Brazilian striker Mario Jardel in the 2000/01 season to achieve the feat.
The latest milestone further underlines Osimhen’s growing importance at Galatasaray, where he has quickly established himself among the club’s most prolific foreign goalscorers.
