Okan Buruk, manager of Galatasaray, has praised Victor Osimhen as the best forward in Europe, surpassing Haaland's recent form. While Haaland has been prolific for Man City, Buruk highlighted Osimhen's clinical performances for both club and country, positioning him as Europe's top striker.
Galatasaray's manager, Okan Buruk, recently praised Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, claiming he is currently the best forward in Europe, even surpassing Manchester City's Erling Haaland. In an interview with Assist Analiz, Buruk highlighted Osimhen’s strong performances for both club and country, which have set him apart from other top European strikers.
Although Haaland has scored 15 goals in 16 matches this season, Buruk argued that Osimhen's recent form makes him the standout player. Osimhen has netted eight goals in nine appearances for his club, Galatasaray, and his impressive performances in the Turkish Super Lig have further strengthened his position as one of Europe’s most talented forwards.
Buruk acknowledged Haaland’s exceptional skill but pointed to Manchester City's recent struggles, stating that, based on recent performances, Osimhen is the best striker right now. The Galatasaray manager also noted the scarcity of elite strikers in Europe and praised Osimhen’s ability to impact games with his clinical finishing and overall contribution.
While Haaland remains one of Europe’s most prolific goal-scorers, Buruk emphasized that Osimhen’s recent form has elevated him above other top talents. This endorsement highlights the growing recognition of Osimhen’s abilities, with many now considering him one of the continent’s most complete and sought-after forwards.
