Victor Osimhen has spoken about the unique connection between his daughter and Galatasaray S.K. supporters, highlighting the warmth his family has received since joining the club, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The 27-year-old was recently seen celebrating with his four-year-old daughter, Hailey, as they danced together following Galatasaray’s 1–0 win over Liverpool F.C. in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 clash.
Before kickoff, Galatasaray fans unveiled an emotional tifo in honour of Osimhen’s late mother, a gesture that moved the striker to tears and underlined the strong bond between him and the club’s supporters.
However, the return leg at Anfield proved difficult, as Osimhen suffered a forearm fracture early in the game and was later substituted, with Liverpool going on to secure a 4–0 victory to eliminate the Turkish side.
Speaking during a livestream with Carter Efe, Osimhen praised the club’s culture and the love shown to him and his family.
“When you enter the club, you’ll realise the way they treat players, especially those who give everything for the badge. They show real love,” he said.
The forward added that the connection extends beyond him, revealing how deeply his daughter has embraced the club.
“Even my daughter is more inclined to the club than I am. After training, we do the club’s chants and dance, and she enjoys it a lot,” Osimhen noted.
Despite sustaining an injury that will require surgery, Osimhen is expected to travel to Nigeria before returning to Türkiye for the procedure.
Reflecting on his time at the club, the former SSC Napoli forward expressed gratitude for the support shown to him and his loved ones, describing the experience as truly special.
