Osimhen's move to Galatasaray comes after a deadline transfer day saga that saw a potential move to Premier League outfit Chelsea fall through.
After the move, Osimhen had the support of his senior colleague with the national team Odion Ighalo as well as captain Ahmed Musa.
Ighalo said, "No human being is perfect and we have all made mistakes in life, but seeing comments about this young man from his own country people makes me really sad, without even knowing what happened.
"I spoke to him and I can feel the pain in his voice, the way he's been treated, this young man play with heart and pains for his country.
"Hmmm it's well, he will definitely be back stronger, we learn everyday in life, Happy New Month to y'all🤍🙏🏾."
Ighalo who is banging in goals for Al Wehda in Saudi Arabia has now backed Osimhen to shine at Galatasaray.
Commenting on a social media post about Osimhen, Ighalo said, "Who God has blessed no one can curse."
Osimhen was invited for the Super Eagles upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda, but it remains to be seen if he would show up.
