Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, who currently stars for Galatasaray, has been embroiled in a controversy following an alleged altercation with a journalist.

According to reports from Turkish media outlet Posta, the prolific forward allegedly assaulted a journalist at the exit of the entertainment venue he went to with his friends in Turkey.

The situation escalated when the striker, seemingly annoyed by the presence of a reporter, reacted aggressively.

Tolga Bozduman, the journalist at the center of the allegation, recounted the altercation.

“I was filming Osimhen as he exited, accompanied by three colleagues. When the camera flashes stopped, he became furious. He rushed towards me, shouting, and attempted to grab my camera. When I refused to let go, he punched me. It still hurts. Then he started swearing and said, ‘Destroy the photos, I’ll give you money.’ I refused, and he threatened me, saying, ‘I’ll destroy you.’”

Neither Galatasaray nor Osimhen has released an official statement addressing the incident.

Osimhen has been remarkable with Galatasaray with 15 goals and six assists already this season for the Turkish giants.

Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov, has named the team that could “surprise” Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners are now six points clear of second-placed Chelsea, thanks to their 4-1 demolition of Tottenham on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s men could extend that lead to nine points, when they travel to face the Blues this weekend.

Berbatov has now said he expects Arsenal to be “really tested” over the hectic festive period and says their title credentials will become clearer in the New Year.

“Of course Liverpool are low in the table and Man City are dropping points, but there are other teams like Chelsea who can surprise people,” Berbatov told ESPN.

“Six points is a good cushion but in the Premier League it’s nothing and can go very quickly.”
