Turkish football pundit Levent Tüzemen has called on Galatasaray to sign a high-profile striker to complement Victor Osimhen ahead of the upcoming January transfer window. The advice comes as the Nigerian international recovers from a recent knee injury that has sidelined him from recent club fixtures.
Osimhen missed Galatasaray’s last match against Amed SK in the Turkish Super Lig due to the injury. Following a successful knee surgery, the player is expected to return to the squad after the international break.
Tüzemen, speaking on the Libero TV YouTube channel, outlined several positional needs for the Turkish club, emphasizing that a new forward is the most critical addition. "Galatasaray needs a good striker, a good right-back, a good left-sided center-back, and a good midfielder," Tüzemen stated.
"A good striker needs to be brought in to replace Osimhen," Tüzemen said. "Not a backup, but a striker of the same type, like Osimhen, to play alongside him."
The pundit argued that acquiring a player of similar caliber would provide tactical flexibility for the manager. He noted that having a comparable striker would allow the coaching staff to rotate the squad, ensuring Osimhen does not have to feature in every single game.
"You can rest Osimhen in some matches," Tüzemen added. "It's important not to have to use Osimhen in every game." The January transfer window will offer Galatasaray an opportunity to address these gaps in their squad composition.
