Report: Only Inter Milan star has performed higher than Osimhen in the Italian Serie A this season

The former Lille star has been unstoppable in front of goal this season for the Neapolitans, and that has earned him a spot among the top three performers in the Italian top-flight

Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen is the second top-rated player in the Italian Serie A this season. According to Whoscored, only Nicolo Barella has performed better than Osimhen this season.

Osimhen has started the season in brilliant form, with six goals in his last four games for Napoli. The Nigerian international has put the disappointment of his sending off on opening day behind him to become Napoli’s leading marksman.

The Super Eagles star has scored four goals in his last three league games for the Neapolitans, while he also has two goals in the Europa League.

His brilliant performance so far has now earned him a rating of 7.58 on Whoscored, which just puts him behind Barella (7.61), who has managed one goal and five assists in six league games this season.
