If there were ever questions asked of the legitimacy of Victor Osimhen as a genuine match winner at Napoli, the young Nigerian is on a mission to silence those doubters.
In his seventh league appearance of the season and like we’ve seen him do I’m crucial times, Osimhen hit another homer, an 81st minute winner against Torino in Naples.
The goal secured three more points for Luciano Spalletti’s side and an eight straight win in the league this season.
Spalletti himself had been hard on the Nigerian, who cost Napoli €80 million last summer, a club record for an emerging player.
While the criticisms have been loud after each game, the work behind the scenes have matched both men’s desire to succeed and the results are becoming evident now.
The player ran towards the Ultras after he scored as if to affirm he hears their call, he accepts the challenge and they in return embrace the kid, who could go on to make his mark in the Serie A this season, there’s nothing stopping him now.
