Engin lauded the Super Eagles forwards, who have collectively scored 42 goals in all competitions this season.

Onuachu leads with 23 goals for Trabzonspor, while Osimhen has netted 19 goals for Galatasaray.

By scoring in Galatasaray’s recent win against Başakşehir FK, Osimhen extended his streak to nine consecutive matches with a goal or assist in the Super Lig.

Onuachu is enjoying a ten-game scoring streak across all competitions.

With eight matches remaining in the season, Galatasaray tops the league standings with 64 points, seven ahead of third-placed Trabzonspor.

Engin described Osimhen as a championship-winning striker, while noting Onuachu’s goals have been crucial for Trabzonspor’s push for a Champions League spot.

Engin told Habersarikirmizi: “Osimhen is the one who drives Galatasaray towards the championship.

There is no need for further explanation; it is clear to see. Onuachu has also scored 21 goals.

Had he only netted 15 goals, the team might have earned 6–8 fewer points by now.”
