Ghanaians on the social media platform, Facebook have crowned Napoli and Super Eagles striker as Africa's best player after he guided his side to their first Scudetto in 33 years.

Napoli were crowned champions after they drew with Udinese at Dacia Arena to spark jubilant celebrations back in Naples.

They last won the league in 1990 with a Diego Maradona-inspired side adding to their first title three years earlier.

Victor Osimhen smashed in a 52nd-minute equalizer after Sandi Lovric had given Udinese a shock lead.

And Napoli held on to the point they needed to win their third Serie A title with five games to spare.

"Seeing Neapolitans happy is enough to give you a sense of that joy they are feeling," Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti told DAZN.

"These people will look to this moment when life gets hard, they have every right to celebrate like this.

"You feel a bit more relaxed knowing that you've given them this moment of happiness."
