As the summer transfer window approaches, football icon Jay-Jay Okocha has stepped in with timely advice for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen. Amid growing interest from Europe’s elite clubs and Saudi Arabia, Okocha urges Osimhen to weigh his options with patience and strategic thinking.
Former Nigerian football legend Austin ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha has advised fellow countryman Victor Osimhen to take a cautious and calculated approach in deciding his next career move. The advice comes at a critical time, with Osimhen’s future being the subject of intense speculation following a phenomenal season on loan at Galatasaray.
Osimhen scored an impressive 36 goals in all competitions, leading Galatasaray to domestic glory and drawing attention from top clubs in the English Premier League, Saudi Pro League, and across Europe. Despite the growing interest, Okocha speaking to Turkish media emphasized the importance of sacrifice and timing.
“I had a wonderful time in Turkey, and I know what it’s like to play in this environment. Victor should consider staying one more year at Galatasaray. Sometimes, patience can lead to bigger opportunities,” Okocha advised.”
Known for his brilliance on the field and deep understanding of the game, Okocha highlighted the benefits of consistency, development, and club culture. He believes Osimhen could enhance his global value by maintaining form at a club where he’s already settled and admired.
With Galatasaray eager to make his stay permanent, Osimhen now faces a career-defining decision. Whether he opts for a big-money move or remains in Istanbul, the coming weeks will shape the next chapter of one of Nigeria’s brightest football talents.
