Galatasaray Ready To Hand Osimhen Captain’s Armband After Icardi Exit

Victor Osimhen is now set to be named new Galatasaray captain following the departure of Mauro Icardi, DAILY POST reports.

Icardi left the Turkish Super Lig champions following the expiration of his contract.

The Argentine’s departure was announced this week ending his four-year stint at the RAMS Park.

The 33-year-old won four Turkish Super Lig titles with the Yellow and Reds.

Osimhen assumed the role of Galatasaray’s deputy captain last season.

The 27-year-old is now expected to be elevated to the captaincy role.

The Nigeria international has been pivotal in Okan Buruk’s side winning the league title in the last two seasons.
