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

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.
