In a historic moment for Nigerian football, Victor Osimhen has clinched a spot among the nominees for the 2023 FIFA Men's Ballon d'Or, as reported by our source.

Osimhen's nomination marks a groundbreaking achievement, as he becomes the first Nigerian player to receive this prestigious recognition since its inception in 1999.

The 24-year-old football sensation shone brightly during the previous season with Napoli, the reigning champions of Serie A. Osimhen's prolific form was nothing short of spectacular, as he netted an impressive 26 goals in just 32 league appearances, playing a pivotal role in Napoli's Scudetto victory – a title they secured after a 33-year wait.

Not only did Osimhen excel on the domestic front, but he also left his mark on the European stage, scoring five crucial goals for Napoli in the UEFA Champions League.

The promising striker has continued to impress in the new season, showcasing his scoring prowess under the guidance of Rudi Garcia at Napoli. Osimhen has already found the back of the net three times in as many games.

The football world eagerly awaits the outcome of the 2023 FIFA Men's Ballon d'Or, where Osimhen's name stands proudly among the elite contenders for this prestigious honor.
