Victor Osimhen (Nigeria)

Position: Center-Forward

Victor James Osimhen plays for Napoli in the Italian Serie A, and is one of the best strikers in the world. He is currently above the continent’s other goal getters in the 2022/23 season. He made history in this 2022/23 season as the first Nigerian footballer to hit double figures for goals in three separate Serie A campaigns.

He also equaled the record of George Weah, making him the second African standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Weah as the only African to hit double figures for goals in three separate Serie A campaigns. Victor Osimhen has played for several clubs, including VFL Wolfsburg, Charleroi, Lille, and Napoli. He has made up to 84 appearances in Napoli and has scored 46 goals already.
