Nigeria Striker Victor Osimhen has been awarded the Stampa Estera prize for the best foreign athlete in Italy for his outstanding performances with his club Napoli.
The 24-year-old is the outright top scorer in Serie A this season, having netted an impressive 19 goals in 21 matches. Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez is second on 14 but has played four more games than Osimhen.
Victor has provided four assists in 21 league outings for Napoli this season and has distinguished himself as the best candidate for the award given by the Foreign Press Association in Italy.
Having excelled for league-leaders Napoli this term, rumours are circulating over Osimhen’s future with a whole host of Premier League teams interested in his signature. Arsenal are one of those keen to land the Nigerian striker as Mikel Arteta is expected to dip back into the transfer market this summer.
