Now I understand: Victor Osimhen gets emotional as Napoli exit looms
Super Eagles and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has opened up on his time in Naples amid a potential exit this summer.
Osimhen's Napoli Legacy
The Super Eagles star forward joined Napoli in the summer of 2020 from French side Lille and became the most expensive signing in the history of the club.
Careca said, as reported by Napoli Magazine, "He had a slow start to life in Naples, managing just 10 goals across all competitions in his first season but blossomed in the next campaign, winning the Serie A Best Young Player of the Year award.

"I hope that he can continue to do well just like he did in Naples. I met him, he is a respectable boy and he did very well with Napoli, scoring many goals and contributing to the championship victory. Should he really leave, he can find a new player worthy of Osimhen."
Careca's sentiments reflect a deep appreciation for Osimhen's prowess on the field and his character off it.
Throughout his stint in Italian football, Osimhen has rewritten the record books, breaking the record for most goals scored by an African player in a season and the record number of goals netted by an African player in the history of the league.
