A lot has been said about the form of Nigeria interaction striker Victor Osimhen this season at Italian Serie A side Napoli with many saying he isn’t the same like he was last season, when he powered the team to their first Serie A title in 33 years.
Osimhen scored 26 goals and also had five assists in 32 league games , a tally which earned him the league top scorer award and he was expected to match or exceed the number this season but that hasn’t been the case.
Napoli are having a very poor season and have already lost the Serie A title to Inter Milan, a spot in Europe next season looks very bleak and many has pointed at the poor performance of Osimhen as part of their struggles this season, but Avelino Bonnetti says he has been the standout player for the team.
” Osimhen has played in just 23 games this season and he has 15 goals and three assists. Remember he was away for a while at the AFCON and also missed over a month due to injury. So he missed two months and yet came up with such high numbers”,he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
” Compare his numbers to last season based on goals per game and you will agree with me that it’s almost the same if not better. He is having a fantastic season but it is going unnoticed because of the way the team is struggling”, he stated.
