“They came here at this time of night (3am). I can already feel them. I will dedicate myself for them every match,” an overwhelmed Osimhen said on arrival.

The former Lille striker appeared thrilled and excited, wearing a yellow t-shirt and a scarf of the Turkish giants. His transfer to Galatasaray came after proposed moves to PSG, Chelsea, and Saudi club Al Ahli all fell through.

At the airport, he joined the fans in singing and chanting, embracing the warm welcome.

He joins Gala on a season-long loan deal, including a clause that allows him to leave in January. The Istanbul club will cover his substantial salary, though the loan has no option to buy.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports has called this the biggest signing in Turkish football history. Galatasaray, the most popular club in Turkey, boasts over 30 million fans and a market value of $294 million.
