No debate! Osimhen reclaims Baller of the Week award after historic Gala night

Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has been crowned the Naija Stars Abroad’s Baller of the Week following his standout performance in Galatasaray’s historic Super Lig title win on Sunday.

Osimhen’s 36th goal of the season, a commanding header in a 3-0 rout of Kayserispor at Nef Stadium, opened the scoring and paved the way for the Lions’ third consecutive championship, earning them Turkey’s first-ever five-star badge for their record 25th league title.

The Nigerian striker’s decisive strike not only secured the Super Lig crown but also completed a domestic double alongside the Turkish Cup, cementing his status as a Galatasaray icon.

Osimhen’s goal sparked wild celebrations among fans, and his post-match social media post, “WE ARE THE BEST! @GalatasaraySK - GOD IS THE GREATEST,” captured his passion and leadership.

Ibrahim Olawoyin’s goal and assist fueled Rizespor’s 6-3 win over Goztepe in Turkey, with Wilfred Ndidi’s match-winning assist lifting Leicester to a 2-0 victory. Moses Simon also celebrated a milestone in France with a goal.

While other Nigerian stars shone across Europe, Osimhen’s title-defining moment set him apart. Toluwase Arokodare netted his 21st league goal in Genk’s 4-0 thrashing of Gent, while Terem Moffi ended a 389-day goal drought in Nice’s 6-0 rout of Brest, securing Champions League qualification.

Despite these impressive displays, Osimhen’s prolific 36-goal season and his role in Galatasaray’s historic achievement made him the clear choice.

His impact continues to elevate Nigerian football on the global stage, with this latest honour recognising his unrivalled contribution to a monumental weekend for Galatasaray and their supporters.
