Osimhen speaks about his future
The Super Eagles forward has debunked the rumours that he is unhappy in Turkey and that not celebrating against Juventus has nothing to do with it.
He added that footballers sometimes go through emotions, and it reflects in their conduct on the pitch and that he is perfectly happy at Galatasaray.
“This has nothing to do with anyone. Every player is emotional. I celebrate most of the time, but there are times when I don't. I had an emotional reason in the last match,” he said as quoted by TRT Spor.
“Since I arrived, both my family and I have been having a great time with the coach, the fans, the president, and everyone in general. They make everything very easy for us.
I celebrate like this when I feel like it. I don't have any problems with anyone. I love my club, my coach, my president, and the fans… I am very grateful for everything I have experienced since I arrived.”
As caught on Bein Sport, the fans unveiled a banner for Osimhen, with the message “We are family and family is everything”, and the striker applauded the gesture.
“I didn't know the fans were prepared. It was a surprise. Everything they've done since I arrived is very precious to me. First, I came on loan. Words can't describe it. Such loving fans,” he told GS TV.

“We have a fanbase that creates a special bond with the players, beyond just football. I'm truly very happy. I agree with what was written on the banner. We are a family, and family is more important than anything.
“I'm at a club I love, with people I love very much. We're together through good times and bad! We're enjoying every moment. I'm very grateful for their support .”
