Former Be\u015fikta\u015f and Turk\u00efye midfielder, Sinan Engin, has revealed the reason Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has been struggling in front of Galatasaray during recent spells, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 25-year-old has been brilliant for the CimBom Aslan<\/em> since joining on loan from Napoli in September, scoring nine goals and providing four assists in twelve games across all competitions.<\/p>\n However, he\u2019s struggled in recent games for Okan Buruk\u2019s side, not because he\u2019s not been scoring, but because he\u2019s been missing a bucketload of clear-cut chances. In Galatasaray\u2019s 2-2 draw against Ey\u00fcpspor, Osimhen had just one shot on target from six attempts.<\/p>\n The Napoli loanee started life in Turk\u00efye by playing alongside Mauro Icardi in Galatasaray\u2019s attack, but a cruciate knee ligament damage to the Argentine has seen Okan Buruk reshuffle his team\u2019s setup, and Engin revealed that has affected Osimhen\u2019s game.<\/p>\n \u201cMauro Icardi is a real striker. If Icardi is there, Victor Osimen will be comfortable.<\/p>\n Victor Osimhen and Dries Mertens duo are slow and ponderous. What Galatasaray players will do is simple, they will go down to the side and pass the ball to Victor Osimhen, but they cannot always do that,\u201d the 60-year-old said in quotes revealed by Haber Sari Kirmizi<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Despite Icardi\u2019s absence and Galatasaray\u2019s slight dip in form, the club are in a good place on all fronts. They\u2019re currently top of the Turkish Super L\u00efg, three points above Jos\u00e9 Mourinho\u2019s Fernabahce.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
