When Victor Osimhen made the surprise move to Galatasaray in 2024, football fans and pundits across Europe had the same reaction — shock, confusion, and plenty of mockery.
Critics said he was done at the top level. That he chose a “smaller” league. That he was finished.
But one fan — Martins Vincent, known online as VDM — refused to follow the noise. Back in 7th September 2024, VDM boldly predicted that Osimhen would not just succeed in Turkey… he would dominate and become Turkish League top scorer.
And that’s exactly what happened. Osimhen lit up the Turkish Süper Lig, delivering one of the greatest individual seasons in recent Galatasaray history.
He scored 26 goals in the league, finishing as top scorer, and notched 37 goals across all competitions, including a bullet header on the final day that sealed a 2–0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir.
That last goal came in front of a roaring home crowd at Rams Park, after Osimhen won a crucial penalty and then powered home the second — a perfect ending to a spectacular campaign.
For his efforts, he was awarded Galatasaray Player of the Season, capping off a loan spell that saw him become the highest-scoring foreign player in a single season in the club’s history.
In a moment that captured the hearts of fans around the world, Osimhen personally invited VDM — the one fan who believed in him when no one else did — to join him in Turkey for the trophy celebration.
Not as a celebrity. Not as a media guest. But as a true supporter, flown in from Nigeria to celebrate side by side with his hero.
The video of their celebration went viral — not because of flashy production or PR hype, but because of what it represented: humility, loyalty, and heart.
Victor Osimhen didn’t just silence his critics — he proved that he never forgets the ones who stood by him.
Now 26, Osimhen has led two different European clubs — SSC Napoli and Galatasaray — to league titles, further cementing his legacy as one of the most lethal and complete strikers in world football. His incredible form also positions him as a key figure in the future of the Nigeria Super Eagles.
From doubt to dominance, Osimhen isn’t just a star on the pitch. He’s a class act off it — and a reminder that greatness isn’t just about goals, but the character behind them.
