Mustafa Denizli has praised Victor Osimhen for his profound effect on Galatasaray’s squad, stating that the Nigerian striker’s value extends beyond his personal goal tally.
The experienced Turkish coach and analyst described Osimhen as a player who consistently raises the performance level of those around him.
According to Denizli, the 27-year-old forward creates a positive ripple effect across the team, improving the output of his teammates through his movement, work rate, and presence on the pitch.
In comments reported by habersarikirmizi, Denizli emphasized Osimhen’s importance to both Galatasaray and the entire Süper Lig. “Osimhen is a crucial player not only for Galatasaray but for the entire league. We cannot attribute this solely to his personal performance,” he said.
This assessment comes as Galatasaray continues its domestic Super Lig campaign, where Osimhen has been a key figure since joining on loan from Napoli.
Denizli also pointed out the noticeable gap left by Osimhen’s occasional absences. “Osimhen’s absence is a factor that negatively affects those playing around him, to his right, left, and behind him,” he added.
