Nigeria international and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has emerged as one of the fastest strikers in Serie A this season. At just 24 years old, he is having an extraordinary season, arguably the best of his career, despite missing several matches due to injuries. Osimhen serves as a driving force for Luciano Spalletti’s side, demonstrating leadership qualities that provide grit and motivation to his teammates.
Speed is one of Osimhen’s key attributes, setting him apart as a prolific striker. Currently, he leads the Serie A scorers’ charts with 13 league goals. According to Corriere dello Sport, the former Lille star is recognized for his remarkable speed, having improved his previous record during the derby against Salernitana. In a standout performance, the Super Eagles striker scored twice and provided one assist as Napoli defeated Juventus 5-1 on match-day 18 of Serie A.
The Italian publication noted, “From the Olimpico to Maradona on the wings of Osimhen. The league’s top scorer with 13 goals in 15 games, the son of the wind who, on Saturday, gusted and stormed through the Salerno derby, adapted perfectly to the weather, clocking a remarkable speed of 35.5 kilometers per hour—a feat never recorded in a match so far.” Overall, the fast and prolific Nigerian striker is enjoying a fantastic season at Napoli, having scored 14 times in 19 appearances across all competitions this campaign. His impressive form has propelled the Parthenopeans to the top of the Serie A table, where they currently hold 50 points from 19 matches, 12 points ahead of second-placed AC Milan.
