Victor Osimhen: Is the Napoli Star the most desired striker in the world?
Victor osimhen is having the best season which he will remember throughout his life. Not just for himself, but also for his team Napoli, who is now leading the Serie A with a 19-point advantage over Lazio, who are ranked second. Napoli was defeated by Barcelona in the round of 32 of the UEFA Europa league last year but now the team has advanced to the Champions League quarterfinal and will play against AC Milan.

Osimhen, who has 21 goals in 23 games is the top scorer in the Serie A has garnered all the limelight for Napoli’s success. In the most recent update, his market value also skyrocketed, rising from €70 million to €100 million. He naturally has the ability to score goals, and in the five Champions League games he has played, he has done so four times. The best part is none of the goal scored is from a penalty. He shoots with incredible accuracy, and thanks to his athleticism, he can convert half-chances into goals with headers and dribbling techniques. Most of his goals are scored inside the box as he overpowers the defenders and create spaces to score.
Together, he and fellow forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have 57 goals and assists for the season across all competitions, showing their inevitable partnership. The Haaland-De Bruyne and Messi-Mbappe duo, who have a combined 74 G+A, are narrowly ahead of them. After more than 30 years since Diego Maradona last raised the Seria A league trophy, the combo is steering Napoli to glory.
Behind Haaland & Mbappe, Osimhen is now the third-fastest player to score 100 goals in a career. He took only 197 games to reach the milestone which are less than the GOAT’s Messi(210) & Ronaldo(301). Many major Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea, are interested in the player. It’s been said that Manchester United is pushing hard to get either Kane or Osimhen, and the management is ready to make an offer to have him by their side. According to reports, Real Madrid is also looking for a replacement of Karim Benzema by signing Osimhen. Because Mbappe is eager to leave the club and there is speculation that Messi might return to Barcelona, PSG is also likely to make an offer during the summer transfer window. As a result, the Nigerian is the subject of a catfight, which Napoli is enjoying because they may even receive €150 million for the sale.
