He scored a hat-trick in Napoli's 6-1 win over Sassuolo on Wednesday to stretch his goal tally this season to 11.
The Nigerian star still faces a daunting task, however, of catching Martinez at the top of the scoring charts. He trails the Inter forward by 12 goals in the Golden Boot race heading into Matchday 27.
In last season's Golden Boot-winning campaign, Osimhen scored seven goals in his final 12 league matches for Napoli, per Transfermarkt.
He will need to do more in the final stretch this season for him to retain his Golden Boot prize.
