Osimhen wins Serie A best player award

Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has been named Serie A player of the month for March.

The Nigerian scored four goals in three games for the Partenopei in the month under review.

The 23-year-old has bagged 15 goals in 25 appearances for Italian Serie A title-chasers Napoli this term.

“The EA SPORTS Player Of The Month award for March has been assigned to Napoli player Victor Osimhen,” a Lega Serie A statement read.

“The trophy will be presented during the pre-match of Napoli vs Fiorentina, scheduled for Sunday, April 10 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Naples.”

The ranking was compiled according to the statistical data of Stats Perform (a system patented in 2010 with K-Sport), with the help of tracking data recorded by Hawk-Eye.

Meanwhile, Luigi De Siervo, Lega Serie A CEO says Osimhen has now achieved the status of one of the most dominant forwards in Serie A.

“Physical strength, speed, courage and determination make the number 9 (Osimhen) one of the leaders of Napoli, an absolute reference point of the offensive plots of the Azzurri, as evidenced by the four goals in three matches in March.”

Milan coach Stefano Pioli was named Coach of The Month.
