"I'll say the best (Nigerian and African) player for me is Victor Osimhen because he plays good in his league and also in the Champions League, he does both very good so he's the best for me," Adeyemi stated.
Osimhen, who currently plays for Serie A club, Napoli, has become an icon at the club following an excellent performance since he joined the team from Naples.

The 24-year-old had a season to forget last season when he led Napoli to a first Serie A title in over 30 years, with the Nigerian scoring 26 goals.

This season, Osimhen has scored seven goals and assisted two more in 13 appearances for Napoli this season.
Meanwhile, Adeyemi, who is currently injured, is in Nigeria in his bid to help as many people as possible via his Karim Adeyemi Foundation.
