Osimhen just had an impressive performance in the opening match of the Super Lig season when scoring both goals for Galatasaray. However, the reigning Turkish champions only got a 2-2 draw against Corum FK at home.
After the match, Osimhen went to the area behind the goal to apologize to Galatasaray fans who were disappointed with the result.
The 27-year-old striker's future immediately became a topic of interest when Arsenal was said to have discussed the possibility of recruiting him during negotiations with Galatasaray regarding Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri.
When asked about rumors of moving to Arsenal, Osimhen did not give a definitive answer.
In transfer windows, there are always rumors.
I will focus on my work. I am focusing on work. Then we will consider and think about the next steps.
Although not ruling out the possibility of leaving, Osimhen affirmed that he is still ready to contribute to Galatasaray if he continues to stay at the club after the transfer window closes.
This will be a difficult season. The whole team is aware of that.
I am ready to dedicate everything to this club. This is an important warning. It is also a warning for the players.
We must dedicate ourselves on the field. Fans bring us great energy, they always support us. We need to reciprocate that.
We need to create momentum before the Champions League. We need to fight really well from the first match.
Osimhen has become an important factor for Galatasaray since joining the Turkish team. His performances continue to attract attention from big clubs in Europe, in which Arsenal is considered one of the teams closely monitoring the situation.
For the "Gunners", the need to add a quality striker is still put first. Goal-scoring ability, physique and top-level playing experience make Osimhen a noteworthy option if Arsenal decides to accelerate in the transfer market.
Meanwhile, Osimhen's double in the first match of the season shows that Galatasaray can still rely on the Nigerian striker. However, his latest statement also leaves open the possibility of a turning point that may appear before the summer transfer window closes.
