Turkey: He’s an incredible player – Osimhen hails Galatasaray teammate

Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen, has hailed teammate Aleksey Batrakov following their 3-1 win against Kasımpaşa in the Turkish Super Lig on Friday.

Osimhen labelled the 21-year-old midfielder as an incredible player, adding that the Russia international reads the game before the ball even comes to him.

“Batrakov is an incredible player. He reads the game before the ball even comes to him,” Osimhen said at his post-match interview as quoted by Sami Yen Gündem.

“Everyone was shocked during his first training session.”

Batrakov joined Galatasaray from Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow this year.

The attacking midfielder will hope to feature for Galatasaray when they host Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
