Meanwhile, Osimhen earlier shared his love for Mario Balotelli, who shocked him by sending him a direct message when he suffered an eye injury last season.

“Mario Balotelli for me is a great human, I love him so much. I could remember there was a time he sent me a Dm like, he was checking up on me when I had the face injury," wrote the Nigerian forward on Instagram.

Mario Balotelli had a good first season at Adana Demirspor last season, scoring 18 goals in 31 Super Lig appearances, including an outrageous rabonna in the game against Goztepe.

Osimhen, who has popped up on the radar of several clubs, will be hoping to stay injury free as the season kicks off next month.

The Italian forward scored five goals in one game for Adan Demirspor as they annihilated Goztepe in Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.

His fifth and final goal was a thing of beauty, as he danced by his marker and put it past the keeper in stunning fashion.
