Victor Osimhen's Lookalike Goes Viral After Reproducing Napoli Striker's Moments in Nigeria: Video

• Victor Osimhen's lookalike has gone viral on social media
• The Nigeria striker is set to be named the new CAF PoTY
• Osimhen led Napoli to the league title for the first time in 33 years

A video of Victor Osimhen's lookalike has been trending on social media after the creator used the Napoli striker's voiceover for his content.

The young Nigerian, who has a striking resemblance to the Super Eagles forward, seems to adore the footballer as he emulates his moves.

In a video that has since gone viral, Osimhen's doppelganger is seen training in a remake of an old scene by the striker, who was training in Nigeria following his return home.

The interesting part of the video was that, it had the voice of the Napoli star narrating how he had to battle against all odds to make it to the big stage.
