Osimhen Closes In on Icardi's Goal Record

Victor Osimhen, who has scored 69 goals and provided 19 assists in 84 official matches for Galatasaray, is on the verge of writing his name into club history. The 27-year-old Nigerian striker has been directly involved in 88 goals with these contributions. Despite missing 2 league matches through injury this season, he has found the net 9 times in 8 matches.

In the club's all-time foreign goalscorer list, Mauro Icardi reached 77 goals in 134 matches. Osimhen will approach that total with 8 goals. If he scores 9, he will have 78 goals and become Galatasaray's all-time top foreign goalscorer. Considering how many matches Icardi needed to reach the same number, it is striking how much faster Osimhen is progressing.

Osimhen's impact is not limited to goals. In his 60th Süper Lig match over the last three seasons, he scored his 50th goal and made 13 assists. With 1.05 goal contributions per match, the forward stands alongside Harry Kane, Luis Suárez and Kylian Mbappé as one of the standout names in this category. Since the 2024/25 season, only 4 players in Europe's top 10 leagues have maintained more than 1 goal contribution per match, and Osimhen is one of them.

Galatasaray's away form is also noteworthy. Galatasaray did not lose any of the 17 Süper Lig away matches in which Osimhen scored. Of those matches, 15 ended in wins and 2 in draws.
