Osimhen’s joy in Napoli has been painstakingly recorded by Pem Art, known for his intriguing masterpieces

Super Eagles and Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen was spotted in Napoli seeing a mural that was created of him, Soccernet.ng reports.

A stunning painting depicting Osimhen’s joyous celebration in front of the famous scenery to commemorate his tremendous accomplishments in Naples was earlier revealed by renowned artist Pem Art in Castel Volturno.

Following this, the 24-year-old striker visited the Artiste and her family in Castel Volturno accompanied by his family and friends.

The Nigerian was seen in the video expressing his thanks to the painter, giving them his Napoli shirt, and taking pictures with them.

The painting serves as a moving reminder of Osimhen’s crucial part in clinching the Scudetto. It is situated in the centre of Castel Volturno, a town soaked in Napoli’s rich footballing past.

The Nigerian has been credited as being one of the main reasons Napoli was able to win their third Serie A title, scoring 23 goals out of the team’s total of 73 goals in the 2022–23 season.

However, Osimhen emerged as an unstoppable force in the Azzurri’s triumphant campaign owing to his lightning-quick speed, and precise finishing.

By revealing this breathtaking painting, Castel Volturno adds to the chorus of people who applaud Osimhen’s extraordinary ability and recognise his crucial contribution to Napoli’s historic victory.
