Nigerian Player Becomes First African To Win Serie A Golden Boot
Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen has won the Serie A Golden Boot for scoring the highest number of goals in the 2022/23 campaign.
The feat makes him the first African to scoop the prize in Serie A history.
The Napoli star scored 26 goals in 32 matches, edging his closest rival Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez to land the highly coveted “Capocannoniere” prize.
Osimhen had already scored 25 goals before Napoli’s Sunday game against Sampdoria. He then scored from the spot to add one more strike to his tally as his club won 2-0.
The Nigerian’s goals were instrumental as the club clinched their first league title in 33 years and their third overall.
