The jersey number of Super Eagles forward player, Victor Osimhen at his new club side, Galatasaray has reportedly been revealed by some close sources to the Nigerian.
Nigerian Sports Journalist Buchi Laba, who has been at the forefront of Victor Osimhen’s news, confirmed on his official X account on Tuesday, September 4, 2024, that the forward player will wear the number 45 jersey at Galatasaray. According to him, the decision was taken because that was his good-luck number that he wore back at Belgian club Charleroi.
The deal is expected to be sealed among all the parties involved before the end of today ( Wednesday, September 4, 2024) before Osimhen travels to Nigeria ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin Republic.
Victor Osimhen agreed to move to Galatasaray after he experienced two failed transfers from Al Ahli and Chelsea. According to reports, the Nigerian international will link up with Galatasaray to have his medicals and complete his move away from Napoli.
Sky Sports Italia also confirmed that Galatasaray's decision to go in search of a striker was due to the injury to Mauro Icardi who could be out for a long time. The club is also open to the option of playing two strikers upfront when Icardi returns from injury.
