The Nigerian international, who now needs to play with a mask after sustaining several facial fractures, has a flair for scoring goals and isn't afraid to put his body on the line to do so.

The forward's contract at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium has just under two years left, and there has been no indication that it would be extended.

As a result of the player's entourage's anger over a TikTok video broadcast by the official Napoli account, there are also rising tensions inside the organization.

Despite these connections, the striker has issued a statement regarding his present circumstances at Napoli and his future.

Nigerians reacted to Napoli's official TikTok account activity after the club posted a video making fun of Super Eagles of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen after missing a penalty against Bologna.

Nigerian football fans in particular did not appreciate Napoli's TikTok video and thought it disrespectful that an official account was responsible for such activities.

Minister of Sports Owan Enoh is now the latest to get involved in the saga between Osimhen and his club Napoli.
