Victor Osimhen, the star striker for Galatasaray, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Turkish journalist Tolga Bozduman following allegations made by the journalist.

This legal action was confirmed by Osimhen’s close friend and radio host Onokala Onyebuchi, also known as Buchi Laba, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.

Buchi Laba tweeted, “Victor Osimhen has officially sued the journalist that accused him of hitting him. The case will officially start in court tomorrow.”

The controversy began earlier this month after a tense 3-3 draw between Galatasaray and Dynamo Kyiv when Bozduman accused Osimhen of assaulting him.

The journalist claimed that the Nigerian forward became aggressive and punched him while he was attempting to take photos outside a venue.

Adding to the drama, reports surfaced suggesting that Osimhen had allegedly offered money to have footage of the incident deleted. However, Osimhen has vehemently denied these claims, calling them completely false.

“If I hit him, he’s going to get justice, and if he lied, he’s going to get the wrath of the law.”

Former England forward Gary Lineker believes Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes this season rest heavily on new signing Viktor Gyokeres making an instant impact. The Gunners brought in the 27-year-old striker from Sporting CP in a deal worth up to £63 million after his stunning tally of 54 goals in 52 matches last season.

Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Lineker said Gyokeres needs to deliver similar numbers if Arsenal are to push for the title again. “A lot will depend on how Gyokeres performs,” he noted.

“He scored a great goal in pre-season, but we all know pre-season doesn’t count for much, except for strikers, where it helps build confidence. He’ll get plenty of service, so if he settles quickly, they could go very close again.”

Super Eagles B coach, Eric Chelle, has opened up on why his side suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Sudan in their 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) clash on Tuesday.

The loss, which followed a 1-0 defeat to Senegal in their opening match, ended Nigeria’s hopes in the tournament. Sudan’s goals came through an own goal by Leonard Ngenge, a strike from Walieldin Khedr, and a brace from Abdel Raouf.

Reflecting on the game, Chelle admitted that his players made too many costly errors, especially after the break. “We made too many mistakes and let the game slip away in the second half,” he said. “Four goals, four mistakes. It’s been the same story in both games against Senegal and Sudan.”
