Seven goals in eight games with the Napoli, also on target with his Nigeria in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Victor osimhen continues to amaze in what is certainly the best moment of his career in terms of performance and after the international break he is ready to return to play with the blue shirt, which he will find again this Sunday against Torino.
The striker has never forgotten his origins and his hometown of Lagos, Nigeria, even in the highest moments of his career as a footballer. Nicknamed “Humble Victor” by the fans of Lille, his former team, he has always remained “humble” and he demonstrated it in an interview given to the YouTube channel of the former Udinese defender Troost-Ekong (now playing for Watford, in England).
“Where I was born and raised, nothing is promised and you have to work hard to get whatever you want,” Osimhen said, speaking of his troubled childhood. “When I was young, my family and I did what we could to get by and earn something: my sister sold oranges, my brother sold newspapers, and I cleaned gutters, all for a few cents.”
“Difficulties have shaped me in life,” added the Nigerian. “I just wanted to become a footballer, like my idols Drogba, Obi or Ighalo. I made many sacrifices, but being able to help my family financially repaid them: playing at these levels is now a real dream.”
