Wilfried Zaha is impressing in the Turkish league. The 30-year-old forward keeps churning out good performances. On Friday, the Ivory Coast international gave his side victory with a brace against Kasimpasa (2-1). His display was praised by his coach Okan Buruk. "The big winner of this match for us was Wilfried Zaha with 2 goals. He also did an important job in terms of performance today, both going forward and defensively. Tonight, Galatasaray didn't just win the match, they also won Zaha," the Turkish manager said after the game.

His performances are also making the front pages of the Turkish press, which is getting carried away over the Super Lig's new star on Saturday. "In this match, Wilfried Zaha, who was supposed to explode from the start of the season, became a star. The lion won with the support of 50,000 fans. Wilfried Zaha is the name that marked Galatasaray, he reminded us of the player he was when he impressed in the Premier League. His last brace dated back to August 2022," wrote the outlet Fanatik.
Since mid-September, the 30-year-old forward has not stopped scoring. He already has 4 goals and one assist, and is more than ever an undisputed starter in Okan Buruk's set-up. That is good news for the Ivory Coast national team ahead of the 2023 AFCON. But before that, the Ivorian will be eagerly watched against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The two clubs meet on Wednesday 8 November in matchday 6 of Group A. The Turkish club (4 pts) are second behind the Bavarians (9 pts).
