Osimhen scored 26 goals plus five assists in 32 league appearances for Napoli, and was crucial to the Partenopei winning the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years last season.

He also became the first African to claim the prestigious Capocannoniere award, given to the top scorer in Serie A.
