Victor Osimhen Denies Journalist Assault Allegation.
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has firmly denied allegations that he assaulted a Turkish journalist following his team’s recent victory over Konyaspor. The Nigerian international dismissed the claims as baseless and vowed to take legal action to clear his name.
The controversy arose after the journalist alleged that Osimhen punched him in reaction to unauthorised photographs being taken. However, Osimhen has categorically refuted the accusation, stating his side of the story during a post-match interview.
“I didn’t hit anyone. They are lying,” Osimhen said. “I only told them to delete my photos and reminded them to seek permission for an interview.”
The 24-year-old striker’s statement suggests that the situation stemmed from a misunderstanding rather than any form of physical altercation. Osimhen, who has been a key figure for Galatasaray this season, expressed his determination to address the matter legally to protect his reputation.
The incident has sparked discussions around media ethics and the importance of respecting players’ boundaries. While investigations into the claim continue, Osimhen remains focused on his performances, helping Galatasaray maintain their strong form in the Turkish league.
As the legal process unfolds, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely for further developments in the case.
