Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Victor Osimhen showed he is fully ready for the new Serie A season which kicks off at the weekend as he scored his eighth pre-season goal in Napoli colours.

Napoli defeated Pescara by 4-0 and the Nigerian international was instrumental to his team's victory over the Italian Serie C side.

The 22-year-old scored the opening goal in the ninth minute after he was set up by Lorenzo Insigne.

The Super Eagles striker was brought down in the box minutes later for the Napoli captain Insigne to score from the spot.

Substitute Adam Ounas scored the third three minutes after the break before Karim Zedadka completed the scoring in the 77th minute.

Osimhen has been on a jolly ride for Luciano Spalletti's side in their pre-season campaign, putting four past Anaunia, one against Pro Vercelli, two against Bayern Munich, and now one against Pescara.
