Victor Osimhen could emulate Africa’s sole recipient of the Ballon d’Or, George Weah, according to former Super Eagles forward Victor Agali.
Osimhen has been impressive for Napoli this season, firing 17 goals in 19 appearances in the Partenopei’s quest for the Scudetto.
In a chat with FL, Victor Agali noted that it could be tough for the 24 year-old to win the CAF African Player of The Year because of Nigeria’s FIFA World Cup absence in Qatar.
“Victor Osimhen appreciates Napoli for the last two seasons, he is quick as well, and he deserves to be there for him to score 17 goals in the Serie A, being a difficult league,” Agali said.
“17 goals in the league is like scoring 30 goals in the French league. But at the moment, he is on top of the game, but, as for the African player of the year it will be really difficult.”
