The accolades keeps coming for Victor Osimhen as the governing body in Italian football acknowledges his goalscoring feat that helped Napoi win the Scudetto.

The governing body that runs the major professional football competitions in Italy, Lega Serie A, has praised Victor Osimhen for helping Napoli win their first league title since 1988.

The Nigerian international notched up 26 goals in the 2022-23 campaign to emerge topscorer in the Italian topflight division.

The 24-year-old was awarded the best striker in Serie A ahead of Inter Milan's Lautauro Martinez and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao.

Though Osimhen missed out on the Most Valuable Player award to his Napoli teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the 24-year-old was still given recognition by the league’s governing body.

Lega Serie A tweeted:

“The season’s over but his legacy as capocannoniere will endure for eternity.

“Victor Osimhen: The 2022/23 top scorer with 26 goals!.”

Osimhen is one of the most anticipated summer transfers as top clubs including Chelsea, Man United and Bayern Munich have been linked to the Nigerian sensation.

However, the Super Eagles No.9 recently stated that his future is in the hands of Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis.
