Napoli and Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has emerged the Best Striker for the 2022/23 Serie A season.
Osimhen’s strike partner Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was however, named the Serie A Player of the Season.
This was revealed by Serie A organisers on Friday.
According to the organisers, Osimhen toppled Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao of AC Milan to scoop the prize.
The Nigerian bagged the award having scored 25 league goals this term, four more than his closest rival Martinez with just one game to go.
Osimhen had led Napoli to its first Serie A crown since the 1989–1990 season.
The latest was the club’s third domestic title after previously winning it in 1987.
The Nigerian football star had earlier broken George Weah’s record for the most goals scored by an African in Serie A when he netted his 47th goal.
