Player to watch: Victor Osimhen
Victor Osimhen put in a solid performance earlier this week, scoring twice in Galatasaray's 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League.
The Nigerian forward has been nothing short of impressive since he joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last summer. He has been directly involved in at least one goal in all but one of his appearances for the Istanbul giants, scoring six times and providing three assists in eight matches across all competitions. Osimhen will fancy his chances against Samsunspor.
