Aside from that, the victory is important,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know next week is going to be really hard, but I believe in this team and the kind of performance we put in against a very good side like Liverpool. I\u2019m optimistic that we can do some damage there at Anfield.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The striker acknowledged the challenge awaiting the team in the second leg but insisted Galatasaray would analyse their performance and attempt to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut like I said earlier, it\u2019s not going to be easy. We will go back, look at our mistakes and try to correct them. I\u2019m proud of the boys tonight,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Osimhen\u2019s performances this season have further enhanced his reputation as one of Europe\u2019s most sought-after strikers, with the Nigerian contributing 24 goals and assists across competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His form has reportedly drawn strong interest from Premier League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, with Arsenal and Manchester United among the sides monitoring his situation if he is to be priced away from Galatasaray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to SportsBoom, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta sees the Nigerian as a key addition to his attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArsenal boss Mikel Arteta reportedly views Osimhen as the \u2018final piece of the puzzle\u2019 for his frontline,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal are understood to be seeking a reliable goalscorer to strengthen their title ambitions, while Manchester United are also considering reinforcements in attack as part of a wider squad rebuild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report added that pressure from former players could influence United\u2019s pursuit of the striker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Manchester United, the pressure from club legends like Rio Ferdinand is pushing the board toward a more aggressive pursuit. The club have attempted to sway the Nigerian international to Old Trafford on several occasions. Chelsea have also been linked with a move,\u201d SportsBoom said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any move for the Nigerian forward is expected to command a fee of around \u20ac140m, a figure that would require significant financial commitment from potential suitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf Galatasaray decides to cash in, the asking price sits between \u20ac120 million and \u20ac140 million; a figure that would shatter every record in the S\u00fcper Lig,\u201d SportsBoom added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, however, Osimhen\u2019s immediate focus remains on helping Galatasaray complete the job against Liverpool as they attempt to progress further in Europe\u2019s premier club competition. <a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/osimhen-fires-liverpool-second-leg-warning\/\">(Punch)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victor Osimhen\u00a0has warned Liverpool that Galatasaray can \u201cdo some damage\u201d at Anfield ahead of the second leg of their UEFA Champions League tie, as the Nigerian striker also attracts transfer interest from Arsenal and Manchester United in a potential \u20ac140m deal, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
