Since joining Galatasaray, Osimhen has been in outstanding form, netting 59 goals and providing 16 assists in 74 appearances across all competitions. His impressive numbers have reignited speculation over his future at Rams Park, with several clubs in Europe and beyond said to be monitoring his situation.
