Turkey: Galatasaray have found special No.10 to solve their Osimhen problem – Erman Özgür

Galatasaray have found a new attacking talent in Aleksey Batrakov, who could help address the team’s difficulties when Victor Osimhen is unavailable or fails to perform, according to Tivibu Spor commentator Erman Özgür.

Özgür made the comments after Galatasaray defeated Stuttgart 2-0 in their UEFA Champions League encounter at Rams Park, with Batrakov scoring both goals.

The commentator praised the new arrival’s growing influence and suggested that his performances were giving Galatasaray another attacking option beyond Osimhen.

He also argued that supporters should stop focusing their praise on Dries Mertens, insisting that Batrakov had become an important contributor to the team’s goals.

“Galatasaray has now found another special talent [Batrakov] who can solve the problem when Osimhen is absent or playing poorly,” Özgür said.
