Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen has agreed a loan deal to join Turkish representative in this season UEFA Champions League Galatasaray, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The 25 year old who has been locked in a transfer dispute with Napoli will spend the entirety of this season on loan to the Turkish side, who have agreed to pay his €10m a year salary for the period of his loan, which will terminate at the end of the season with no option of signing him permanently.
