Victor Osimhen, a Nigerian striker, has won the Best African Player award at the Ghana Football Awards, beating out Treble winner Riyadh Mahrez and Mohammed Salah.
Osimhen, who scored 31 goals in all competitions last season to help Napoli win the Serie A title for the first time in over three decades, has had a remarkable season, breaking records and winning awards.
In a video posted on the official Twitter account of the Ghana Football Awards, Osimhen thanked the organisers for the award and promised to continue making Africa proud.
He also won the top scorer award with 26 goals and broke the former World Player of the Year George Weah’s long-time record as the African with the highest number of goals in Serie A history.
He was awarded the best striker in the league and is also a strong candidate for the best player’s gong at this year’s CAF awards.
