Osimhen has been in a rich vein of form since returning from a muscle injury on October 16th against Bologna, scoring in four straight league games including his first club hat-trick against Sassuolo on October 29th.

The 23-year-old joined Napoli from French Ligue one side Lille for a club-record 75 million euros in the 2020/2021 season.

Since his big-money move to Italy, Osimhen has been steadily building his reputation as one of the most prolific young strikers in Europe.
