Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has won a prestigious award after being named Stampa Estera’s best foreign athlete in Italy for his outstanding performances this season.
The Super Eagles goal poacher has been in superb form this season at Napoli, scoring goals and also being linked with a summer move to the Premier League.
Chelsea and Manchester United are reported to be the two clubs vying for Osimhen’s signature, and a bidding war is expected at the end of the season.
Osimhen was seen posing with his award alongside his club’s president in a photo Napoli posted on their official Twitter page.
