Côte d’Ivoire and Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba, has extolled Super Eagles Victor Osimhen after his record-breaking goal for Napoli that occurred during the recent 1-0 home win against Fiorentina.
The goal was Osimhen’s 23rd goal in the Serie A this season. He scored the only goal of the game by converting from the penalty spot.
Osimhen has scored a total of 47 goals since joining Napoli and he now has one goal more than George Weah who was the highest African goal scorer in Serie A.
Osimhen broke Samuel Eto’o’s record of 21 goals in a season when he scored in last Thursday’s 1-1 draw against Udinese which secured the title for Napoli.
While reacting to Osimhen’s historic goal on Twitter, Drogba praised the Nigeria international and also congratulated Napoli for winning the first league title since 1990.
He tweeted: “Indeed Capo @victorosimhen9 from the streets of Nigeria to the World’s History books.
“Congratulations my Brother to you and your Club @en_sscnapoli.”
Osimhen is the current top scorer in Serie A with 23 goals.
