The striker went on to delete pictures of himself in Napoli shirts from his Instagram after his agent threatened to take legal action against the club which led to the team’s social media executive resignation.
The veteran commended Osimhen on the way he handled the situation and noted that the Napoli forward had done well to keep scoring goals under the pressure of the scandal.
