Few days after being named the best foreign athlete in Italy, Victor Osimhen has added the Serie A Player of the Month to his laurels in the Italian top fight league.
The official announcement was made yesterday by the management of the Serie A on social media as the Nigerian ace who led support for earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria has been adjudged the best player in the league for February 2023 having netted five goals in the outgoing month.
At present Osimhen is the highest goal scorer in the Serie A with 19 goals from 21 Serie A matches and on February 17, he scored his 100th career goal to help Napoli win 2-0 at Sassuolo.

Since joining Napoli, Osimhen has claimed several awards including the Serie A Best Young Player in his first season as well as Serie A player of the Month in March 2022
His solo goal against Roma early this year was picked as the Serie A goal of the month of January 2023.
