Victor Osimhen earns Italian Serie A Team of the Year spot

By Saheed Afolabi

Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen has earned a place in the Who Scored Italian Serie A Team of the Year 2023.

Osimhen had a terrific year by banging goals and set records in all fronts for club and country.

The Super Eagles striker marked an impressive performance in the 2022/2023 season by winning the highest goal scorer gong in Serie A and leading the Partenopei to the Scudetto title after 33 years.

The Nigeria forward netted 26 goals to clinch the highest goal scorer award and emerged the top scorer in the AFCON qualifiers.

Osimhen capped up an emphatic year by winning the 2023 CAF Africa best player award and thereby ending Nigeria’s wait for the individual award after Kanu Nwankwo won it last in 1999.

The lanky striker will headline the Super Eagles team to the AFCON in Ivory Coast as he missed the last one in Cameroon due to injury.
