The Napoli striker looked happy and energized wearing a yellow t-shirt with a scarf of the Turkish giants who have cashed in to sign him after proposed transfers to PSG, Chelsea and Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli fell through.
He joined the signing and chanting by the fans at the airport.
Hundreds of fans lined the road leading to the airport to welcome him.
“They came here at this time of night (3am). I can already feel them. I will dedicate myself for them every match,” an overwhelmed Osimhen said on arrival.
He has completed a season-long loan transfer with ‘Gala’ with a break-up clause that allows him to join a club of his choice in January.
The Istanbul giants will cover his huge salary and it is a loan with no option to buy.
