Unstoppable Osimhen lays down a marker as he hits four goals in Napol’s pre-season win

The Super Eagles star is expected to have a monstrous season under Luciano Spalletti and  he showed a glimpse of what to expect in his side’s first pre-season match

Victor Osimhen has sent a warning to Serie A defenders ahead of next season after the Nigerian international scored four goals in Napoli’s rout of Anaunia in their first pre-season game at Di Mario.

Osimhen joined Napoli for a club and African record fee last season, but his debut campaign did not go as expected.

The former Lille star missed more than three months of action due to an injury and coronavirus. However, he still managed to score ten goals in 24 league games, including seven in the last 11.

The 22-year-old has now picked up from where he left off last season as he was on fire in Napoli’s first pre-season game of the summer.

Eljif Elmas put Gli Azzurri ahead in the fourth minute before Osimhen doubled the advantage four minutes later.

The Super Eagles star got his second in the 20th minute after Konstantinos Manolas had made it three in the 15th minute.

Osimhen then got his hat-trick and Napoli’s fifth in the 35th minute before scoring his fourth two minutes later.

Stanislav Lobotka’s strike on the stroke of half-time made it a perfect seven in the opening half for Spalletti’s men.

The second half resumed with the former Roma coach changing the whole starting eleven, but Osimhen has already shown what to expect under his tutelage.
