Oshimen scored 10 goals to emerge as the highest goal scorer in a single U-17 World Cup tournament.

Victor Osimhen's name became known in the world of football with his impressive goalscoring brilliance at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup held in Chile.

Osimhen, who scored ten goals at the championship, was part of the Nigerian squad that coach Emmanuel Amuneke led to victory in Chile.

Victor Oshimen's Journey to 10 Goals

Osimhen's journey to the top scorer title was remarkable as he scored in every match Nigeria played at the tournament.

His 10 goals not only earned him the prestigious Golden Boot award but also etched his name in the history books as the highest scorer in a single U-17 World Cup tournament.

Osimhen's raw pace, clinical finishing, and ability to create something out of nothing made him a force to be reckoned with.

Osimhen is still hungry for more success

The 2015 U-17 World Cup was a turning point in Osimhen's career as it launched him to the world and gave him the platform to enjoy a promising career.

Now with Napoli, Victor Osimhen has won the Italian Serie A and the top goal scorer award in Italy's top flight. He is also the reigning CAF African Footballer of the Year.

The 25-year-old is also reported to be on his way out of Naples, with a big-money move in the summer to either Chelsea or PSG on the cards.

However, with all these successes that the young striker has enjoyed, he will always look back to the 2015 U-17 FIFA World Cup in Chile, where everything changed.

Osimhen will also always remain grateful to the man who gave him the opportunity to prove himself - coach Emmanuel Amuneke.
