Osimhen Takes Legal Action Against Journalist Over False Assault Claims
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 footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
