Watch: Turkish fan turns his house into a Victor Osimen thing!

A Galatasaray fan has expressed his great love and gratitude to Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen by turning his home in Diyarbakir, Turkey, into something special for the Turkish team and their brilliant striker this season.

The house is now the talk of the international and Turkish press, and its humble owner Mehdi Keskinkılınç, a father of four, has already engraved Mauro Icardi's name on the front of his house in recognition of the Argentine striker's great work with the team as well.

The love didn't stop there!

The Turkish club signed Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen on loan from Napoli, and since his first season he has contributed to breaking records and achieving the 24th league title in their history, making him one of the best African players of all time.

Keskinkılınç, an avid fan of the team, engraved Victor Osimene's name under Mauro Icardi's name surrounded by a newly added fifth star and two lions to represent the two strikers.

What Keskinkılınç told reporters!

When rumors swirled about Victor Osimhen joining Galatasaray, superfan Keskinkılınç didn’t hesitate—he added the Nigerian striker’s name to his personal shrine, right beside Mauro Icardi’s.

“People talked about Osimhen coming, and I thought, ‘If Icardi led us to glory, why not Osimhen too?’” he told local reporters. “So I painted his name, placed a star beside it, and gave both players their lion.”

For Keskinkılınç, football isn’t just a sport—it’s a way of life. His devotion runs so deep that he vowed to dedicate his home to Galatasaray.

“If I owned 20,000 houses, every single one would be yellow and red,” he declared. “I once promised myself that if I ever had my own place, I’d cover it in Galatasaray’s crest and Icardi’s name. And I kept that promise.”

But when his story went viral, he and his family faced online mockery. His response? A firm defense of respect.

“If you truly valued your own families, you wouldn’t attack others. Hiding behind a screen doesn’t give anyone the right to be cruel.”

Then, with the passion of a true believer, he sent a direct message to Osimhen—the man now immortalized in his Silvan tribute.

“Osimhen, don’t leave us. Don’t let them tempt you away, brother. The world is full of traps.”

And in true poetic fashion, he closed with a rallying cry:

“Galatasaray offers peace, love, and everything you could want. We believe in you—just believe in us too. There’s still one trophy missing from our museum: the Champions League. Let’s win it together.”
