Serie A: Victor Osimhen receives top scorer award

As the top scorer in Serie A last season, Victor Osimhen was awarded the Paolo Rossi trophy.

The honor bears Rossi’s name, an Italian international.

At the Italy-winning 1982 FIFA World Cup, Rossi had the most goals scored.

Last season, Osimhen helped Napoli win the Scudetto for the first time in more than three decades with 26 goals in 32 league games.

The 24-year-old player was the first from Africa to accomplish the accomplishment.

After breaking the previous record held by former Cameroon hitman Samuel Eto, the attacker is also currently the most-scoring African in the Italian top division.

The international player from Nigeria has three goals so far this season in just two league games for Napoli.
