  "account": "Victor Osimhen has ascended to third place on Galatasaray's all-time list of highest-scoring foreign players following a strong performance against Erzurum FK. The Nigerian forward netted twice in the 4-0 victory, extending his total to 62 goals in 76 appearances for the Turkish champions. Osimhen's brace surpassed former Czech Republic international Milan Baros, who scored 61 goals during his time at the club. The 27-year-old has also contributed 16 assists since joining Galatasaray. Only Argentine striker Mauro Icardi, with 77 goals, and Romanian legend Gheorghe Hagi, with 72 goals, currently rank ahead of Osimhen on the club's foreign scorers list. Osimhen's impressive start to the new Süper Lig season is evident, having scored at least four goals in Galatasaray's opening two league matches, a feat not achieved by a player since Brazilian striker Mario Jardel in the 2000/01 season.",
