Galatasaray took to X, sharing, “Join us in wishing @victorosimhen9 a happy birthday!” Meanwhile, Ligue 1 called him “the King,” posting, “Happy birthday to the King Victor Osimhen.”
Lille also celebrated their former striker with a message on X: “Happy birthday @victorosimhen9. Our former striker celebrates his 26th birthday today.”
Osimhen’s rise to fame began in 2015 when he helped Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets clinch the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile.
He emerged as the tournament’s top scorer, netting 10 goals. His performance earned him a move to Wolfsburg, where he struggled for playing time.
A loan spell at Charleroi reignited his career, leading to a move to Lille, where he impressed significantly. This success saw him join Napoli, where he became Serie A’s top scorer during the 2022/23 season, helping the club secure their first league title since 1990.
In 2023, Osimhen was crowned CAF Player of the Year and played a key role in leading the Super Eagles to the AFCON final.
