Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has won the Best Striker award for the 2022/23 Serie A Season.
The Serie A made the announcement on Friday, saying the striker fended off competition from Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao of AC Milan to scoop the prize.
The Nigerian bagged the award having scored 25 league goals this term, four more than Martinez with just one game to go.
The Super Eagles forward emerged as the top striker having led Napoli to its first Serie A championship since the 1989–1990 season. That was the club’s third domestic title after previously winning it in 1987 and 1990.
The 24-year-old player is on the mission of emerging as the first African to finish top scorer in the Serie A.
He had earlier broken George Weah’s record for the most goals scored by an African in Serie A when he netted his 47th goal.
