The Turkish Super Lig has recently garnered unprecedented attention, especially with Galatasaray's signing of Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian forward, who made headlines during his time at Napoli, has joined the Turkish club on loan following a failed summer move to Premier League side Chelsea.
Osimhen became one of the most talked-about transfer topics in football when it became evident that he wasn't interested in continuing his stint with the Partenopei.

With his transfer falling through at the last moment, a move to the Istanbul club emerged as a viable option, particularly since he had already been excluded from Napoli's first-team setup.
