Osimhen continues to earn rave reviews for his performances at Napoli, with the Series A leaders losing only one game, winning 14 with two draws, to maintain their hold at the top the table with 44 points.
The Nigerian has played his part in that run, with 10 goals and two assists from his 13 league appearances so far this season.
