After an impressive weekend, Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen edges Super Eagles teammates Ademola Lookman, Umar Sadiq and Chidera Ejuke to keep his Baller of the Week crown.
Victor Osimhen has done it again, holding onto the Naija Stars Abroad’s Baller of the Week title with a performance that reaffirms his status as one of Nigeria’s most electrifying football exports.

A Header That Roared: Osimhen Shines Against Alanyaspor
In a pulsating showdown against Alanyaspor, Osimhen delivered a moment of pure brilliance that flipped the script.
With the game tied, the 26-year-old soared above the defence in the second half, hammering home a bullet header to clinch a vital 2-1 victory for the Turkish champions.
It wasn’t just a goal—it was a testament to his clutch instincts and razor-sharp finishing, proving once more why he’s the man Galatasaray turns to in crunch time.
A Season of Dominance
Osimhen’s numbers speak volumes: 17 goals in 20 league appearances, a tally that places him among the Turkish Super Lig’s elite.
But it’s not just about the goals, it’s about their impact. His scoring spree has fueled Galatasaray’s commanding seven-point lead over Fenerbahce, putting them firmly on course for a third straight title.
Week after week, Osimhen is proving he’s not just a striker, but a game-changer.
Osimhen’s influence goes beyond the score sheet. His leadership and relentless drive have won over Turkish pundits and fans, who see him as the heart of this Galatasaray squad.
Fending Off a Resurgent Lookman
Osimhen’s grip on the Baller of the Week title didn’t come without a fight. Lookman, whom Osimhen unseated last week, roared back into contention with the final goal in Atalanta’s emphatic 4-0 demolition of Juventus in Turin.
It was a strike that showed Lookman’s flair, but Osimhen’s match-altering heroics and season-long dominance gave him the edge.
While Lookman’s resurgence is noteworthy, Osimhen’s consistent brilliance keeps him atop the Nigerian stars abroad.
Other Contenders
Chidera Ejuke and Umar Sadiq were also on fire as well for their teams, scoring winners for Sevilla and Valencia respectively. But Osimhen remains the king for another week.
Victor Osimhen: Naija’s pride, Galatasaray’s talisman, and, for the second week running, the undisputed Baller of the Week.
