Super Eagles and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has been ranked the 4th best striker in the world in ESPN's annual FC 100 list.
Victor Osimhen who had a storming season for Napoli in Serie A has been ranked in the top 5 best strikers in the world for the 2022/23 season by ESPN in their yearly FC 100 list.

Osimhen had an excellent season for Napol

The Nigeria international set Europe ablaze last season, almost singlehandedly guiding Napoli to their first Scudetto in 30 years, winning the golden boot in the process and ending the season with a staggering 31 goals in all competitions.

Fans of the Napoli hitman may have some complaints about the striker's position on this list, arguing that he perhaps had a better season than the likes of Harry Kane, who, despite scoring 30 league goals, failed to lead his side to any trophies.

Verdict - Osimhen should have been higher

Osimhen scored 31 goals last season, just one short of Harry Kane's total of 32 but the Nigerian did so in fewer appearances. He was also more impactful than the England captain as well as Karim Benzema over the course of the season.

The 24-year-old scored crucial goals to lift Napoli to the Serie A title and his absence was also keenly felt as his team cashed out in the Champions League quarter-final. An outstanding season for the Super Eagles forward.
