Osimhen not only won it with Napoli this time, he also played a pivotal role in the Partenopei’s victory.
The 24-year-old has so far scored 22 goals and provided four assists in 27 league games this season.
The striker is now in contention to become the first African to win the Golden Boot in the Italian top-flight.
The Nigeria international now holds the record for the most goals in a Serie A season by an African player after erasing Samuel Eto’o’s old mark.
