Galatasaray midfielder Mario Lemina has described teammate Victor Osimhen as the world's best striker in an interview on The 360 Experience with Onah Kosi.
The comments, carried by Turkish outlet Forza Cimbom, place the 27-year-old Nigerian forward ahead of Europe's other leading attackers. Lemina, a Gabon international who has previously played alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gonzalo Higuaín, said Osimhen stands alone among the strikers he has encountered during his career.
Lemina pointed to Osimhen's explosive movement, strength as the qualities that make him a consistent threat. He also highlighted the forward's work off the ball, noting his relentless pressing, physicality and willingness to drop deep to help in midfield.
"Victor Osimhen is the world's best striker. He is the most complete striker I've seen in my life. I think he's the best I've seen in my life. He's a special one," Lemina said.
Speaking about their relationship, he added: "We love each other with Osimhen. We always want to win. When someone shouts, it is a positive thing for the team. I love that. Osimhen is a warrior. His best quality is his competitiveness. He always wants to win."

The praise followed Galatasaray's 4-2 win over Antalyaspor, a result that confirmed the club's fourth consecutive Turkish Super Lig title. Osimhen scored twice in the match. Since joining Galatasaray in 2024 for a Turkish record fee of 75 million euros, he has scored 59 goals in 74 appearances across all competitions.
