Super Eagles and Napoli of Italy forward, Victor Osimhen has expressed gratitude to his family members, friends and supporters for their votes and support in seeing him win the Italia Footballers’ Association (AIC) Player of the Year award.
The prolific Nigerian striker capped a remarkable year by deservedly being crowned Italian Footballers’ Association (AIC) Player of the Year on Monday night.
“Thank you @GranGalaAIC for the recognition and awards, thank you my family, friends and supporters for ur votes and unending support. GOD is the Greatest” the 24 years old said on his X handle.
The Napoli striker plundered 26 goals in 32 Serie A appearances last season to propel the Neapolitans towards a first Scudetto since 1990.
By landing this prestigious peer-voted award previously won by icons like Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Osimhen’s stock continues on rapid ascent.
Osimhen claimed the individual gong during a ceremony where the AIC Team of the Season featured four of his triumphant team-mates.
Despite reported interest from several clubs in the summer, the 24-year-old remained in Naples and is repaying that loyalty emphatically.
Osimhen has already netted another six league goals this term to help Walter Mazzari’s entertainers to be among the Serie A’s pacesetters once more.
Recognition amongst Italian football’s modern greats represents just reward after a year establishing the Nigerian among Europe’s hottest striking talents.
With Napoli hunting further glory, more achievements likely await to reinforce Osimhen’s dramatic elevation into global superstardom.
