Sports Brief earlier reported that Victor Osimhen is getting the accolade he deserves after helping Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years last year under Italian boss Luciano Spalletti.

The Nigerian striker scored 26 goals and provided a further four assists to help the club secure their first title since the 1989/90 Diego Maradona-inspired season.

His teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who chipped in 11 goals and 11 assists, was awarded the league's best player, much to widespread reaction from Nigerians.
