The Super Eagles star striker is in the form of his life, pushing Napoli to a third Scudetto after a long 33-year wait.
His tally of 16 goals in Serie A this season is the best he has achieved since he moved to Europe seven years ago.

The Super Eagles striker scored a goal for Cremonese to extend their giant-killing run in the Coppa Italia by dumping AS Roma to reach the semifinals. Cremonese have yet to win a Serie A game since promotion from the lower league, but they also accounted for Napoli in the cup competition.
4.Kelechi Iheanacho
‘Seniorman Kels’ scored a goal and provided two assists in a rare start for Leicester City to stop home team Aston Villa 4-2 in the Premier League. It was his second goal in the Premier League this season. This was after his goal qualified Leicester City to the fifth round of the FA Cup. ‘The Foxes’ are now 14th on the table, three points clear of the drop zone.
#Africa’s most decorated.

The Super Falcons star recorded her third hat-trick in four games with a treble in a 7-0 mauling of Real Betis Sunday. She is now the leading scorer in the league with 17 goals and looks good to surpass the 20 goals she netted last season to finish as the league’s top scorer. Her club Barcelona are eight points clear of nearest rivals Real Madrid.

The 22-year-old Arsenal loanee sits proudly at the top of the goals chart in the French Ligue 1 with 14 goals after a hat-trick for Reims versus FC Lorient. He is ahead of top stars like Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lacazette. Will he choose to play for the Super Eagles even though he is also eligible to play for the USA and England?
Victor Osimhen unleashes another Thunderbastard of a goal vs Roma. His 14th Serie A ⚽️ & 15th in all comps.

Fine cross by "Kvaradona" & brilliant chest-knee coordinated control & finish from a lad who's arguably (or unarguably😏) the Scariest Striker on planet earth right now. pic.twitter.com/k3JN4rzvZh
1.Victor Osimhen
Both the striker and his club Napoli are headed for great things this season. Osimhen has now fired 16 goals in Serie A after his double at Spezia at the weekend. It is the best haul he has achieved since he moved to Europe via German Bundesliga club Wolfsburg. With such form, you can bet on him to become the first-ever African to emerge Goal King in the Italian top flight and for Napoli to be champions for a third time. After these exploits you will then expect him to make a record-breaking transfer to the Premier League. No surprises he is trending on social media.
