Osimhen backs wonder goal to win Puskas award

Victor Osimhen has backed his incredible strike in Galatasaray’s win against Antalyaspor to win the Puskas Award.

Osimhen scored a superb overhead kick goal in the closing stages of the game.

Asked whether his goal deserved a Puskás nomination, the reigning African Men’s Player of the Year didn’t hide his feelings.

“Of course it could be. It was an incredible goal. It’s a classy goal, why not, it could be,” he told the club’s official website.

The 25-year-old has scored three goals for the Turkish Super Lig champions this season.

Osimhen joined the Yellow and Reds on loan from Napoli this summer.
