Napoli celebrates Osimhen, says he's the top-scoring Nigerian at Series A of all time

Victor Osimhen's accomplishment as the highest-scoring Nigerian in the Italian top division has been acknowledged by Napoli.

After scoring in Napoli's tense 2-1 away victory at Atalanta last weekend, Osimhen surpassed Simy Nwankwo's previous record of 31 goals.

With 32 goals, the 23-year-old currently holds the record.

Given the variety of Nigerian strikers that have previously competed in Serie A, it's an impressive accomplishment.

Former Italian first flight players include Obafemi Martins, Stephen Makinwa, and Obinna Nsofor.

Napoli celebrated their goal on social media.

“@victorosimhen9’s goal against Atalanta at the weekend saw him become the top-scoring Nigerian in @SerieA_EN of all time! ForzaNapoliSempre, ” the Serie A leaders tweeted.

If Osimhen scores again against Empoli today, he would tie Arkadiusz Milik's record for most goals in a single season in Serie A.

Milik was the last Napoli player to score goals in five straight games.
