It would be recalled that Osimhen and his teammates in the national team lost the play-offs for the 2022 World Cup to Ghana.

According to the report on Soccernet, there is a clause in Osimhen's contract that he will get €260,000 if he should net 30 goals.

What are they saying?

Sports Brief spoke with former Super Eagles goalkeeper Dele Aiyenugba who explained that Osimhen would even net more than 30 goals.

Statement made by Aiyenugba

''With Osimhen's form this season for Napoli, I want to state it that he will score more than 30 goals and we can only hope that he stays fit because we all knew how injury affected him last season.''

Roberto Mancini defends kid

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Roberto Mancini who is the gaffer of the Italian national team has defended the kid spotted on social media impersonating Napoli and Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen by painting himself black.

Mixed reactions have followed the photos of a young Napoli fan who was seen wearing Osimhen's shirt together with the same hairstyle and facial paining.

Sporting costumes were allowed in a carnival held in Italy in which kids were allowed to dress and impersonate their heroes.

However, the young boy who imitated Osimhen got people talking with some tagging it to racism claiming that that should not have been allowed.
