Nigerian and Napoli Forward, Victor Osimhen, has been ranked 8th Best Player in the world at the 2023 Ballon d’Or in Paris, France.
Victor Osimhen and Asisat Oshoala were in September listed among the nominees for the prestigious 2023 Ballon d’Or awards.
Osimhen’s exceptional performance on the football field, particularly with Italian club Napoli, propelled him into the exclusive ranks of the Ballon d’Or nominees.
Notably, Osimhen became one of the few Nigerians to be nominated for the Ballon d’Or and went a step further by making the top ten.
During his time with Napoli, the 24-year-old displayed remarkable prowess as they clinched the Serie A title, marking a historic win after 33 years.
His exceptional goal-scoring abilities were further recognized as he clinched the coveted Pichichi award, recognizing him as the highest goal scorer in the league last season.
