The former Lille forward is Nigeria’s all-time highest goalscorer in the Italian Serie A

Napoli have nominated Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen for the best celebration of the year 2022 award.

Osimhen has a lot to celebrate in the outgoing year after returning fully from a freak cheek fracture that required surgery and kept him out of the Africa Cup of Nations in January.

The 24-year-old welcomed the birth of his first daughter in October and shortly after became the most prolific Nigerian footballer to ever play in the Italian Serie A.

The former Wolfsburg star currently sits atop the league scorer’s chart as his nine goals are equaled or bettered by no other.

Osimhen’s celebration for two of those goals has however received special recognition after they were nominated for the club’s end-of-the-year awards.
