Nigerian international Victor Osimhen is yet to open his goal account for Galatasaray but has already made plans on how he will celebrate when he finally hits the back of the net.

The Napoli loanee recorded his third assist in three games as he helped the Turkish Super Lig giants to a 3-1 victory over PAOK Salonica in the Europa League on Wednesday, September 25.

In a post-match reaction, the 25-year-old disclosed that he feels his first goal for the club is very close after providing assists in matches against Rizespor, Fenerbahce, and PAOK Salonica.

“I feel my first goal is very close. Helping the team and the team winning is more important. My goal will come. I also thank the fans. We need to continue winning in the league and in Europe.”

The reigning African Footballer of the Year went ahead to suggest the Turkish song titled “Yarim Yarim” as the track that should be played when he finally breaks his duck.

"It was played when it was first thought I scored the first goal against PAOK. The music is something from my days at Lille. My Turkish friend there played it in the gym. I also have a video of me dancing. It will be exciting to have this playing every time I score a goal,” he said.
