Osimhen deserves most valuable player award – S’Eagles star, Onazi

Former Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi has advocated for Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen to be crowned the best player in Serie A this season.

Osimhen currently takes point as the marksman to watch out for in the Italian top-flight this season after scoring 21 goals.

His goals have put Napoli on the verge of winning their first Scudetto in 33 years.

Onazi, who once had a stint with Italian giant, Lazio in Serie A has tipped the Napoli forward to win the Most Valuable Player (MVP) prize.

“He deserves MVP for what he’s done in Serie A and also for what he’s done this season in the Champions League. I have no doubts.

“Osimhen continues to grow and will do even better. In Nigeria we have had strikers who have written football history but Osimhen is still a starter and I think for him, only the sky will be the limit,” Onazi told Tuttomercatoweb.

Osimhen is expected to be in action on Sunday when Napoli host Salernitana at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona.
