Osimhen opts for Gala’s number 45 shirt 

Reigning African footballer of the Year, Victor Osimhen has reportedly opted to wear No. 45 shirt at Galatasaray for the 2024-25 campaign.

Italy-based transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed this on his social media handle on Wednesday. 

Osimhen was not short of traditional options when it came to squad numbers that he could have chosen. Most notably, the number seven shirt is currently vacant.

During the 2018-19 season, Osimhen wore that number with Belgian side Charleroi, where he netted 20 goals from 36 appearances in all competitions.

Osimhen has spent the last day or so in Turkey with Galatasaray officially showcasing his arrival and time in the country on their social media pages.
