  "account": "Victor Osimhen has climbed to the third position on Galatasaray's all-time list of highest-scoring foreign players after scoring twice in a match against Erzurum FK. This performance brought his total to 62 goals in 76 appearances for the club. According to Turkish sports outlet A Spor, Osimhen's brace now places him ahead of former Czech Republic international Milan Baros, who scored 61 goals during his time with Galatasaray. The 27-year-old Nigerian has also contributed 16 assists since joining the club. Osimhen's two-goal performance against Erzurum FK also marks his first time scoring in each of Galatasaray's opening two league matches, a feat not achieved by a player since Brazilian striker Mario Jardel in the 2000/01 season. If Osimhen maintains his current form, he could become one of the most prolific foreign scorers in Galatasaray's history.",
