According to *Naija News*, Turkish sports pundit Adnan Aybaba has raised eyebrows after making a bizarre public wager regarding Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen. Aybaba publicly declared that Osimhen will be outscored in the Turkish Super Lig goal race by rivals Dusan Vlahovic and Romelu Lukaku.
The outspoken analyst vowed to paint his entire body black if the Galatasaray star ends up scoring more goals than both players by the end of the current football season. The absurd claim instantly triggered intense outrage and defensive backlash from Nigerian football fans across TikTok and X.
Reporting on the televised statement, *Daily Post Nigeria* cited Aybaba on *Telegol* saying, “Vlahovic is a far better footballer and will outscore Osimhen easily this season.” Simultaneously, Nigerian sports platform *@BrilaFM* posted on Instagram, “Turkish analyst makes wild promise over Victor Osimhen’s goal capacity in Turkey.”
Aybaba’s provocative bet highlights the intense media pressure and massive global spotlight surrounding Osimhen’s club stint. If Osimhen maintains his lethal scoring form, expect his fans to hold the pundit publicly accountable.
