Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has sparked conversation by naming Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as the best forward in Europe right now, Soccernet.ng reports. In an interview shared by Assist Analiz, Buruk has named the Super Eagles talisman ahead of Manchester City’s Erling Haaland following his recent performance for his club and country. Buruk acknowledged Haaland’s immense talent but stated that Osimhen’s recent performances have set him apart from the former Borussia Dortmund striker. “There are not many elite strikers in Europe,” Buruk said. Although Haaland remains one of the most prolific goal-scorers in Europe, Buruk shifted his focus towards Osimhen’s overall impact on the pitch, particularly following recent struggles for Manchester City.
