Ilkay Gundogan has reacted to Victor Osimhen's shock transfer to Galatasaray. The 25-year-old striker was heavily linked moves to the Premier League and the Saudi Pro League for much of the summer, but a switch collapsed after failing to agree personal terms with Chelsea and Al-Ahli.

In a desperate effort to find a new club before the summer window slammed shut, Osimhen joined the reigning Turkish top-flight champions on a season-long loan.

It's said that Galatasaray agreed to pay the Nigeria international's eye-watering salary, worth around €210,000 (£176,000) a week, in full in return for no loan fee.

Osimhen touched down in in Istanbul in the early hours of Tuesday morning after completing his medical, and he was given a warm welcome by supporters.
