Transfer: He eats only Nigerian food, cares for thousands – Tugrul on Osimhen’s next move

Turkish football expert Onur Tugrul has shared his thoughts on Victor Osimhen’s next move. According to him, the Nigerian striker might not say no to a huge offer because of the many people who rely on him.

Speaking on the Vole YouTube channel (quoted by habersarikirmizi), Tugrul explained that Osimhen faces more pressure than many other football stars.

He said Osimhen has a strong connection to his community back in Nigeria and feels a personal responsibility to take care of them.

Tugrul compared Osimhen’s case to that of Edin Dzeko, who turned down a bigger offer from Saudi Arabia before joining Fenerbahçe. But Tugrul said Osimhen’s situation is unique.

He explained that Osimhen helps not just a few people, but hundreds or even thousands. These people live in crowded places and depend on his support.

Tugrul also mentioned that Osimhen likes to keep his Nigerian roots close. Even when he goes out at night, he stays with his people and eats only Nigerian food—not Turkish meals.

Recently, reports have said Osimhen might have signed a three-year deal with Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal. However, nothing is confirmed yet.

At the same time, English Premier League clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United are still said to be watching him closely.

Osimhen is set to return to Napoli after a loan spell with Galatasaray, but the Turkish club is also hoping to sign him permanently.
