“I Can’t Handle That” – Osimhen Rejects Idea of Joining Fenerbahçe
Victor Osimhen has addressed the growing rumours about a possible move to Fenerbahçe, making it clear he won’t be playing for the Turkish side—or any other club in Istanbul. Despite strong links suggesting the Nigerian forward could join Jose Mourinho’s new team, the former Lille star revealed that switching between rival clubs in the same city would be too much for him to handle mentally and emotionally.
Osimhen, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, said the intense passion and pressure from fans in Turkey is even higher than what he experienced in Italy while playing for Napoli. And that, he admits, is not something he wants to go through again. He explained that while he understands the competitive nature of football, moving from one big Istanbul club to another would leave him drained.
His words have now ended any talk of a potential move to Fenerbahçe. Despite his stellar form at Galatasaray—scoring 37 goals and providing 8 assists in 41 appearances—he’s not rushing into his next move. Top European clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Juventus are also keeping a close eye on him, but Osimhen is taking his time to make the right decision.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.

He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
