Osimhen’s Napoli Four Points Away from First Scudetto in 33 Years

Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen,  and his Serie A club, Napoli, are now just four points away from being crowned champions of Italy for the third time after a famous 1-0 win at Juventus on Sunday night.

Napoli could even bag the Scudetto as early as next weekend should they beat Salernitana at home and closest challengers Lazio lose at Inter Milan the following day.

Napoli are 17 points clear at the top of the standings on 78 points with just seven round of matches left to end of the Serie A season in Italy.

The Naples team have previously scooped the Scudetto in the 1986/1987 and 1989/1990 seasons.

Osimhen is the leading scorer in Serie A this season with 21 goals and he will also make history as the first African to be crowned Goal King of Italy should he hold out till the end of the campaign.

It will also be his first major trophy since he moved to Europe in 2016 after winning the FIFA Under-17 World Cup title with the Golden Eaglets in Chile.
