Victor Osimhen Joins Elite Company Among Europe’s Top Scorers in 2025

Victor Osimhen has continued his impressive form in 2025, scoring his 17th goal of the calendar year. This achievement has propelled him into joint-third position among Europe’s leading goal scorers, alongside Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski and Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres. Osimhen’s latest goal came in Galatasaray’s 3-0 victory over Samsunspor, maintaining the Turkish giants’ three-point lead at the top of the Turkish Super Lig.

Currently, only Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembélé (24 goals) and Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé (19 goals) have outscored Osimhen in 2025. His remarkable consistency has been crucial for Galatasaray’s title pursuit, especially after their recent derby loss to Beşiktaş. Osimhen’s goal-scoring run in 2025 has been nothing short of remarkable, with notable performances in January and March, including a stunning hat-trick against Antalyaspor.

Osimhen’s overall tally for the 2024/25 season stands at 31 goals and five assists in all competitions. In the Turkish Super Lig alone, he has scored 21 goals and provided four assists, while contributing six goals and one assist in the Europa League. His performances have intensified speculation about his future, with top European clubs reportedly eyeing a potential move beyond his loan spell in Turkey. As one of the most sought-after talents in the game, Osimhen’s stock continues to rise, solidifying his status among Europe’s top goal-scorers this year
