Italian television presenter, Marika Fruscio has descended heavily on Napoli star, Victor Osimhen, for deleting all club-related photos and videos from his Instagram account.

The Super Falcons striker was mocked by his own team on TikTok after missing a penalty over the weekend in the Serie A game against Bologna.

The club, in a now-deleted video, shared a post on TikTok with sounds making jokes of the striker for his penalty miss.

The Italian champions received massive criticisms for the post, but Fruscio took to social media to accuse the forward of being unprofessional for taking down all Napoli-related posts.

"Your a champion but it takes humility. What's the use of deleting the photos of the team that worshiped and supported you. What's the point of flirting like this?? Even legal action for a sarcastic video? An intelligent man would have laughed at it. Be the professional. Head down and work. It's our fault anyway that we make these players almost gods... Just the shirt, just the shirt," she wrote on Instagram.

Meanwhile, Osimhen's agent has threatened to take legal action over the behaviour of the club.

Osimhen joined the team for the trip to Udinese, where he scored in the 4-1 victory on the road, as reported by the BBC.

Osimhen deletes Napoli-related post on Instagram

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen has seemingly reacted to Napoli's TikTok post, which sought to mock him for missing a penalty, by deleting all club-related photos and videos from his Instagram account.

The Super Eagles striker fired blank as the Serie A champions were held to a goalless draw by Bologna over the weekend.

In a now-deleted post on TikTok, Napoli shared a video after the game depicting the striker missing from the spot along with a high-pitched voiceover mocking the Nigerian.
