Another recognition for Victor osimhen, the striker of Napoli who lived a season as a true protagonist crowned with the victory of the third title in the history of the Azzurri as top scorer in the Serie A championship with 26 goals scored, 31 in total including the other cups. The Nigerian was awarded as “best african player” of the year to Ghana Football Awards, during which he intervened remotely to receive the recognition: “Winning this award for me is a great privilege, an honor – the words of number 9 -. I thank everyone who voted for me and the organizers of the event for their support.

I will continue to make Africa proud.”

osimhen therefore enters the roll of honor of the recognition, which has reached its fifth edition this year. In 2017 and 2018 the winner was Mohamed Salah, of Liverpool, followed by another Reds player, Sadio Mane (twice winner in 2019 and 2022).
