Nigeria international and Galatasaray frontman Victor Osimhen has revealed the individual he considers the most exceptional teammate he has encountered throughout his professional journey. The prolific strikerâs career has seen him traverse several of Europe’s most competitive leagues, including prominent spells in Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, and his current tenure in Turkey. Despite having shared the pitch with a multitude of elite talents across the continent, Osimhenâs choice for the premier player in his career was definitive.
During a featured appearance on the 360 Experience with Onah Kosi, the forward was prompted to select the standout figure from the various dressing rooms he has inhabited. Without hesitation, Osimhen identified Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian sensation who was a vital component of their historic partnership in Naples before his recent move to Paris Saint-Germain. Osimhenâs admiration for the winger extends beyond technical proficiency, as he highlighted both the character and the immense ceiling of the current PSG star.
When the question was posed regarding the finest teammate he has worked alongside, the striker provided a concise response:
âKvaratskhelia,â Osimhen simply said.
Elaborating on the qualities that distinguish the Georgian international, he expressed a firm belief in the playerâs potential to reach the absolute summit of individual recognition in world football.
âHe is such an amazing player. I mean, in the dressing room and on the pitch, heâs a top guy,â Osimhen noted. âWhen he came to Naples, I used to say, âInshallah, in the near future, he can win the Ballon dâOr.â He can really do that.â
The synergy between the duo was a cornerstone of Napoliâs recent domestic success, and while their professional paths have diverged to Istanbul and Paris respectively, Osimhenâs endorsement underscores the profound impact Kvaratskhelia made during their time together in Serie A.
