Victor Osimhen became the second Nigerian to win the Italian Serie A title after helping Napoli end their 33-year drought.
Osimhen stepped up to score the crucial equaliser in the 52nd minute to cancel out Sandi Lovric’s first-half opener for Udinese in Thursday’s league match.
The 24-year-old scored his 22nd Serie A goal of the season to extend his dominance in the goalscoring chart and the best scoring run of his career.
Afrosport brings the other Nigerian star who dominated Italy by lifting the Serie A title.
Obafemi Martins (2005-06)
‘Obagoal’ was part of the Inter Milan squad that won the Italian top-flight crown 17 years ago.
The former Super Eagles striker was a thorn in the flesh of opposition during the successful 2005-06 league campaign and he contributed nine goals in 28 league appearances.
Martins’ pace and clinciality made him standout in the Nerazzurrri set-up that also clinched the Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup in the same season.
