1. Aerial Dominance
At 6'1" with an incredible leap, Nigeria and Super Eagles talisman Osimhen is an absolute menace in the air.
His headed goals have become a trademark, with the Nigerian powerhouse bullying defenders and thundering home bullets from crosses.
)
A nightmare to contain aerially as exemplified by his latest goal in the league. Five of Osimhen’s 15 goals in the Serie A this season have been headers.
2. Lightning Pace
Despite his muscular frame, Osimhen possesses a blistering pace that torments backlines.
)
As he has shown for club and country, especially in the AFCON 2023, the African Player of the Year can outrun almost any defender when playing on the shoulder of the last man - the ultimate handful for opposition centre-backs.
He is widely regarded as one of the top five fastest players in the Italian Serie A and the Super Eagle does not stop running on the pitch.
)
3. Relentless Work Rate
Osimhen's speed and strength are impressive, but it's his ridiculous work rate that sets him apart.
The frontman harries and presses from the front with frightening intensity for 90 minutes, giving no respite to beleaguered defences.
)
Pulse Sports Nigeria presenter, Tunde Young, famously advised the Super Eagles star to stop running like he still sells gala in Lagos.
4. Potent Goal Threat
While the 2023/24 season has been one to forget for Osimhen and his teammates at Napoli following a disgraceful title defence, he remains amongst the best strikers.
With over 15 goals already this season, Osimhen has established himself as one of Europe's deadliest marksmen.
A ruthless finisher with either foot or his head, he seems to score every type of goal imaginable. Defenders dread his name on the teamsheet.
5. Winning Mentality
More than just talent, former Lille man and one of the most wanted and expensive players in the world, Osimhen, has that insatiable hunger for success.
)
The Nigerian international simply won't accept anything less than maximum effort and commitment, driving himself and his teammates on relentlessly.
Osimhen is certified as a born winner - whether it's an unstoppable headed effort, a blistering counterattack or a poacher's finish, Serie A defenders are aware that there is no stopping Osimhen when he's at his rampaging best for Napoli.

The Nigerian goal machine has re-written the record books in Naples and just waiting for his next destination to open another chapter
