Ebosele’s timely intervention underscored his impact off the bench and revealed his ability to change the game swiftly when called upon.
This goal marks Ebosele’s first of the 2025–26 Conference League campaign and his first goal for the club, highlighting his growing importance for Başakşehir.
Festy Ebosele completed his permanent move to İstanbul Başakşehir in January 2025, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Turkish Süper Lig club. This transfer marked the end of his loan spell at Watford and his tenure with parent club Udinese
