Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has revealed who he considers the best teammate of his career,\u00a0Soccernet.ng<\/u><\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nigerian forward has enjoyed a remarkable journey\u00a0in his career that has taken him across Germany, Belgium, France, Italy\u00a0and now Turkey\u00a0and has\u00a0established himself\u00a0as one of the most sought-after strikers in world football today.<\/p>\n

Now at Galatasaray\u00a0after completing a Turkish record \u20ac75 million move\u00a0last summer,\u00a0O<\/u>simhen<\/u><\/a>\u00a0has scored 57 goals in 72 appearances\u00a0and is on the verge of winning a second Turkish Super Lig title after helping the club secure a league and cup double last season.<\/p>\n

Soccer Victor Osimhen names Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as best teammate<\/h2>\n

Speaking\u00a0on the\u00a0360 Experience with Onah Kosi,<\/strong>\u00a0Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen named former Napoli teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as the best player he has shared a dressing room with, while also backing the Georgian winger to reach even greater heights in his career.<\/p>\n

Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia spent two seasons together at Napoli, forming a devastating attacking partnership\u00a0and their\u00a0chemistry\u00a0helped Napoli\u00a0to the Serie A title in the 2022-23 season which ended their\u00a033-year wait for a league title.<\/p>\n

Both players were named in the Serie A Team of the Season\u00a0and while Kvaratskhelia finished as the league\u2019s top assist provider, Osimhen won the Golden Boot\u00a0in one of the most productive partnerships in the history of the Italian league.<\/p>\n

\u201cKvaratskhelia\u201d,\u00a0Osimhen said when asked about his best teammate.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n

\u201cHe\u2019s such an amazing player, he\u2019s a top guy. I mean, in the dressing room and on the pitch, he\u2019s that guy. He\u2019s an amazing person and when he came to Naples, I used to say, \u2018Inshallah, in the near future, he can win the Ballon d\u2019Or.\u2019 He can really do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Georgian winger moved to Paris Saint-Germain in January 2025, a few months after Osimhen left Napoli for Galatasaray. Since then, he has continued to impress\u00a0and has taken\u00a0his performances to another level.<\/p>\n

Osimhen praised Kvaratskhelia further\u00a0and described\u00a0him as one of the best wingers in the world due to his consistency and impact on games.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cEven after he moved to Paris, we\u2019ve stayed in touch. We keep reaching out to each other, and I\u2019ve always congratulated him on his achievements, and he does the same for me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI mean, he\u2019s that guy. He\u2019s one of the best wingers in the world right now,\u00a0no one can argue that\u00a0and I wish him all the very best\u201d, the Nigerian forward\u00a0concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, Osimhen will now turn his full attention to Saturday\u2019s clash against Samsunspor, where a victory would secure a fourth consecutive Turkish Super Lig title for Galatasaray\u00a0and the second of his career.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
