Osimhen can win Ballon d’Or with God on his side – Alloy Agu

Former Nigerian international, Alloy Agu believes there is an outside chance for Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen to win the Ballon d’Or award.

Recall that the Napoli hitman was among the 30 players nominated for the 2023 men’s Ballon d’Or by the organisers, France Football Magazine.

Osimhen enjoyed a phenomenal season for Napoli last time out; powering the Naples-based club to to their first Serie A title in over 30 years.

The Nigerian finished as the highest goal scorer in Italy that season with 26 goals, a feat no African player has ever achieved and he has started the new season brightly also with three goals in three games.

However, in a chat with Completesports.com, Agu stated that with God on Osimhen’s side he can win the Ballond’Or.

“For the Ballon d’Or, it’s a good thing that we can have our own in the nomination. And anything can happen as far as I am concern just like in football.

“This is all about God and with his performance for Napoli for last season, I want to believe he deserves his spot.”
