Before joining Napoli from Lille, Victor Osimhen was also in fantastic form in France netting 18 goals for the club in all competitions.
This made Napoli chiefs to enter the transfer market and paid Lille big money to have the signature of the Super Eagles striker.

Top Italian newspaper, Il Roma reports that Osimhen’s form has wowed Napoli fans who have dubbed the Nigerian ‘Mister Hat-Trick.’
