Napoli vs Udinese: Osimhen set to win Serie A title, break George Weah's record today

Soon-to-crowned Serie A champions Napoli could wrap up their chase for the Scudetto title today, May 4 as they take on Udinese at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

The Naples-based side need just a draw to be crowned the new Italian champions for the first time in 33 years - a historic feat which was last achieved during the era of the great Diego Armando Maradona in the 1899-1990 season.

Napoli's celebrations were delayed following Lazio's 2-0 home win over Sassuolo on Wednesday night.

Osimhen has been instrumental in Napoli's remarkable run to their much-awaited Scudetto title.

The 24-year-old has managed 21 goals and 5 assists in 26 league appearances for Luciano Spalletti's side this season.

With 45 Serie A goals in three seasons, the Super Eagles striker is also a goal away from equalling the record set by George Weah as the African player with the most Serie A goals.

With few games to the end of the season, the ex-Lille striker is also staring at another enviable record of becoming the first African player to win the Paolo Rossi Award given to the top scorer in the Italian topflight.
