Former Super Eagles captain Austin Jay-Jay Okocha has shared advice for striker Victor Osimhen as he faces a big decision this summer. Osimhen’s future at Galatasaray remains uncertain after his season-long loan from Napoli ended in May. While Galatasaray want to sign him permanently, the Nigerian star has also attracted interest from clubs across Europe and Saudi Arabia.

Speaking to Turkish broadcaster TRT Spor, Okocha, who once played for Galatasaray’s rivals Fenerbahçe, encouraged Osimhen to consider making sacrifices for the right move. “Turkey is an excellent place to live and play football,” Okocha said. “Osimhen had a fantastic season with Galatasaray and seems happy there. Sometimes, you need to make sacrifices when making career decisions. If he’s happy, why not stay?”

Okocha added he wasn’t sure where Osimhen would go next but wished him success wherever he lands. Last season, Osimhen scored an impressive 37 goals across all competitions for Galatasaray, clinching the Golden Boot as the Turkish Super Lig’s top scorer.
