“And To Those That Have Been Supporting Me Through The Years, I Appreciate Y’all. GOD Is The Greatest.”
The Nigerian International took his fine form into 2023 by scoring one of Napoli’s goals in their 2-0 win against Sampdoria on Sunday in the Italian Serie A.
The goal made Osimhen the first player in the league to score 10 goals so far in the season and ensured Napoli remained at the top of the Serie A table, seven (7) points clear of Juventus and AC Milan, who are joint second.
