Napoli superstar striker, Victor Osimhen has been announced as the winner of the Best Striker award for the 2022/23 Serie A season after a phenomenal season. 

The Serie A made the announcement on Friday, declaring that the striker fended off competition from Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao of AC Milan to scoop the prize.

The Nigerian bagged the award having scored 25 league goals this term, four more than his closest rival Martinez with just one game to go.

The Super Eagles forward emerged as the top striker having led Napoli to its first Serie A crown since the 1989–1990 season. That was the club’s third domestic title after previously winning it in 1987.
