Game style
Victor Osimhen is a 21-year-old Nigerian striker who has played for Wolfsburg, Charleroi, Lille, and now Napoli for a club-record fee of €70 million. He won numerous awards including the FIFA U-17 World Cup Golden Boot, the CAF Youth Player of the Year, and the Serie A Best Young Player. He is known for his athleticism, directness, hold-up and link-up play, good first touch, and deadly pace in transitions. He also puts in effort in defending and pressing. However, he needs to work on his ball retention and decision-making as most moves where he touches the ball end with him. He has attracted interest from bigger clubs and has scored four times in eight matches for Nigeria.
