Nigerian attacker Victor Osimhen celebrated his goal against Kayserispor during Galatasaray 's 3-0 win with his daughter, Hailey, amid speculation surrounding his future with the club. The victory sealed Galatasaray's 25th Turkish Super Lig title, as Osimhen scored the opener and veteran keeper Fernando Muslera netted a rare penalty.

Osimhen's on-field celebration with Hailey, which brought his name to the fans' attention, underlined his tight connection with the player and the club. He has previously said that Hailey knows the Galatasaray songs better than he does, epitomising their family’s immersion into Turkish football culture.
Victor Osimhen's stellar season and family tiesOsimhen has transformed Galatasaray since joining on loan from Napoli , netting 33 goals and contributing 7 assists in 36 appearances in all competitions. His displays have not only carried the team to domestic success but have also won over the fans with a myriad of off-the-field touches (cheering with young fans, and sharing a personal moment with his daughter).

Osimhen is not only linked to Galatasaray on the field. He has expressed that the way the fans treat me and the way I am welcomed within the team do not make me feel like a new player. Firming up these ties even further is the passion with which his daughter Hailey follows the club, riding every up and down and singing the club anthems.

Victor Osimhen's future is uncertain amid transfer speculationsHowever, Osimhen will not be guaranteed a sure future at Galatasaray. First, he was never signed by Al-Ahli and Chelsea, and as a result, he was loaned to Galatasaray. Osimhen, who has described the city of Naples as his new home, says he will await the season’s end before opening discussions with the club regarding his future, with a focus on the club’s present success.

Galatasaray is optimistic Osimhen will continue with the club due to his influence both on and off the pitch. Adding his adaptation to the club and his family’s evident contentment in Istanbul, Demirbay looks to have solid ground with which to form a long-lasting alliance. But amid other interests and his loan agreement coming to an end, it could come down to talks between Galatasaray, Napoli, and Osimhen.

As the season comes to an end, attention switches to what Osimhen will do next and whether he will stand the test of time he has managed to establish as the Symbol of Galatasaray’s recent success.
