Galatasaray forward Michy Batshuayi has expressed his delight at the arrival of Victor Osimhen, insisting there is no rivalry between himself, Osimhen, and Mauro Icardi, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The Belgian international believes the trio's collective goal is to help the Turkish Super Lig champions secure silverware this season.

"There are three great forwards, all three of us are here to contribute to Galatasaray," Batshuayi told the club's official website.
