Osimhen nominated for Napoli’s best goal, assist award for 2022
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is in the running for Napoli’s best goal and assists award for 2022.
Napoli released the list of nominees on their official Twitter handle.
Osimhen’s superb strike in the 1-0 win at Roma in October was nominated alongside four others.
The 23-year-old skipped past Roma defender, Chris Smalling before unleashing a thunderous shot past Rui Patricio from a difficult angle.
Giovanni Simeone, Piotr Zielinski, Khivicha Kvaratskhelia and Eljif Elmas are the other Napoli players nominated for the award.
Osimhen also got listed in the assist category.
The Nigeria international set up Elmas for the winning goal in the 2-1 away victory against Atalanta on November 5 at the Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo.
Osimhen will battle Franck Zambo Anguissa, Mario Rui Kvaratskhelia and Elmas for the award.
The Eagles striker has netted nine goals in 11 league appearances for Napoli in the ongoing campaign.
