Osimhen is currently having a great season with the Turkish giants after making his permanent move to the champions from Serie A outfit Napoli.

‘It will be an easy ride for Osimhen’

“I really don’t think Osimhen will have any issue when it comes to fitting into Real Madrid or Barcelona. Osimhen has already shown that he’s a proven goal scorer and can perform at the highest level,” said Lawa as quoted by Complete Sports.

“I am very certain he will be grabbing the goal headlines with ease if he joins either of the two clubs because they have quality players who will supply him with those passes for him to score.

“For me, it will be an easy ride for Osimhen if he decides to join Real Madrid or Barca this summer.”

Osimhen is valuable and important

Meanwhile, Besiktas winger Nihat Kahveci has praised Osimhen’s hunger to score goals.

“Osimhen plays every match like it’s his last. This is a very important character trait,” he said: “He doesn’t say, ‘I’ve scored 40 goals, man’; it’s as if he hasn’t scored any, striving like he’s about to score his first!”

In a recent interview, Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk termed Osimhen as an important player for the side. He said: “Osimhen is valuable and important for us. He’s a character who elevates the performance of his teammates.

“Today was his 17th match in the starting XI in the league. He has almost not played half of the matches.

“Everyone was good in the match, but especially Osimhen and Yunus performed very well. I would like to choose them as the men of the match.”

So far this season, Osimhen has scored 20 goals for Galatasaray and provided seven assists in 31 appearances in all competitions.
