Galatasaray manager settles Osimhen vs Haaland debate

Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has weighed in on the recent debate between Erling Haaland and Victor Osimhen over who is the world's top striker.

Osimhen and Haaland have started the new season in form as they chip in goals for their respective clubs.

The Super Eagles star has currently made 11 goal contributions in his first nine games since joining Galatasaray, while the Manchester City forward has 15 contributions in all competitions.

Their form and goalscoring prowess this season have led to conversations about who among the two is the best striker in Europe.

In an interview shared by Assist Analiz, “There are not many elite strikers in Europe. Haaland may come to mind first, but since Manchester City have lost in recent weeks, I would say Osimhen is the best right now.”
