Victor Osimhen stands poised to make history for Napoli as they face Udinese in Serie A on Monday, May 6.
The prolific Super Eagles striker has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 14 goals and providing three assists in 22 Serie A appearances.
Despite grappling with injuries, Osimhen has consistently delivered whenever called upon.
With Napoli gearing up to play Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium on Monday, Osimhen is expected to spearhead the attack. While Udinese may appear to be a struggling opponent, their unpredictable form this season suggests otherwise.
According to Napoli Magazine, a goal against Udinese would see Osimhen join an elite group as the third player in Napoli’s history to score against a single Serie A side in five consecutive games.
Additionally, Osimhen would become the first Nigerian player to achieve this milestone.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Chelsea have made initial contact with Napoli regarding Osimhen’s transfer ahead of the summer window.
Nonetheless their interest since last summer, Chelsea’s attempts to secure his services were thwarted following Napoli’s impressive Serie A title win.
Speculations also abound about Osimhen’s potential move to PSG in the summer transfer market, as English Premier League clubs prepare significant offers.
The French giants are reportedly ready to offer €90 million, but Napoli insists on the full release clause of €130 million before any transfer can take place.
