• The Nigerian international has been advised to prove why he is the reigning African best as he gets another chance
• Peter Ijeh also urged the former Lille of France forward to implore humility, saying it is the bedrock of success

Sweden-based tactician Peter Ijeh has urged the reigning Africa Player of the Year, Victor Osimhen, to rediscover himself.

Osimhen has completed a one-year loan move to Turkish club Galatasaray after Napoli froze him out of the club.

In the summer transfer window, the Super Eagles striker attracted interest from several top clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, PSG and Al Ahli were all linked with the 25-year-old.

Despite being close to sealing a deal, all efforts eventually went south, leaving the striker stuck in Italy.

Galatasaray swoop Osimhen on loan

However, on Monday night, Galatasaray officials approached the forward and eventually, a season-long loan deal was agreed.

Football Italia reports that Osimhen will play for the Turkish champions for just one season, and there is no option to buy in the contract.

Shortly before Galatasaray confirmed the striker's arrival, former Super Eagles striker Ijeh urged Osimhen to win the trust of football fans.

Ijeh told Briefly News:

"Rediscovering himself is essential to win the trust of the club, the fans and soccer industry. He can implore humility as we all know that humility is the bedrock of success.

"Fans will stand up for him. The Nigerian National team is also there for him to resume camp at day one, play like never before and reprove himself as African best."

Osimhen To Leave Napoli

Briefly News earlier reported that the Nigerian international nears his Napoli exit as the Turkish giants are offering him a one-year loan deal. Napoli have reportedly agreed to terms with the suitors, and all is now left for the striker to make a decision.

Representatives from the Turkish club are flying into Naples for advanced negotiations and to finalise the paperwork. The summer transfer window in Turkey closes on September 13, giving Galatasaray ample time to finalise the deal. Should the transfer go through, Osimhen will join a star-studded squad featuring Mauro Icardi and his former teammate, Dries Mertens.
