Napoli has celebrated Victor Osimhen’s feat as the highest-scoring Nigerian in the Italian top flight.

Osimhen eclipsed Simy Nwankwo’s previous mark of 31 after hitting the net in Napoli’s hard-fought 2-1 away victory at Atalanta last weekend.

The 23-year-old now holds the record with 32 goals.

It’s a remarkable achievement considering the array of Nigerian strikers who have played in Serie A in the past.

The likes of Obafemi Martins, Stephen Makinwa and Obinna Nsofor once played in the Italian top flight.

Napoli took to social media to celebrate their forward.

“@victorosimhen9’s goal against Atalanta at the weekend saw him become the top-scoring Nigerian in @SerieA_EN of all time! ForzaNapoliSempre, ” the Serie A leaders tweeted.

Osimhen, who has scored in his last four Serie A outings for Napoli will equal Arkadiusz Milik’s record should he register another goal against Empoli today.
