A Galatasaray player has expressed delight with Victor Osimhen's impact on the team, explaining one key thing the Super Eagles star has imbibed into the team.

Osimhen joined the Turkish champions on a season-long loan move from Napoli after the Italian Serie A club froze him out of the squad due to a failed agreement over his transfer.

He hit the ground running immediately, scoring four goals and providing four assists in his first eight games in all competitions for the Istanbul-based club.
