    The Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has been named the winner of the Serie A goal of the month award for January 2023.

    On Thursday, the winner was revealed on the league’s Twitter account.

    In the league match against AS Roma on Sunday, the Nigerian scored on a volley. The game was won by his team Napoli, 2-1.

    The game’s first score happened when the goal was scored in the 17th minute.

    Osimhen was at the end of a tidy cross-in from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Nigerian cushioned the ball on his chest and redirected it with the thigh before smashing a shot into the roof of the net beyond Rui Patricio.

    It was the 24-year-old’s 14th league goal of the season, adding to his comfort at the summit of Serie A’s goal scorers.

    Osimhen was nominated for the best player award in January and received the award a few days later.

    Along with Ademola Lookman, Lautaro Martinez, Paulo Dybala, and Luis Alberto, he was listed for the monthly award.

    Osimhen has been on fire, scoring 15 goals in 20 games in all competitions and assisting Napoli in maintaining their 13-point lead at the top of Serie A.
