‘They are great’ – Ex-Galatasaray President hails duo Osimhen and Icardi but claims title race is not over

Adnan Polat, the former president of Galatasaray, lavished praise on Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi after they defeated Beşiktaş in the Istanbul derby.

Galatasaray defeated their rivals Beşiktaş 2-1 on Monday night to move eight points clear on the league table.

The Super Eagles striker played an important role in the victory, scoring the winning goal for his new team.

Okan Buruk’s team has been playing exceptionally well, with Osimhen and Icardi helping the table-toppers score eleven goals in the Super League.

Victor Boniface and his Super Eagles teammate Victor Osimhen had an intriguing interaction on social media.

Napoli boss Antonio Conte has opened up on his side’s excellent start to the season after their recent big win over Milan.

Adnan Polat was also asked which team he believes would win the Turkish Super Lïg at the end of the season.

He said, “It is too early. Let’s get closer to May and then we will talk. Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe will continue in the race, Samsunspor is doing very well. Trabzonspor will recover with Şenol Hoca. The race will continue among the big three.”
