Napoli striker Victor Osimhen sealed the Scudetto celebration for his team with a goal in the 2-0 win over relegated Sampdoria.

Speaking on his future after the game, the Nigerian striker said, ‘Anything is possible,’ including Napoli winning the Champions League.

When asked if he would remain next season, Osimhen, who doesn’t mind staying, said the President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, would decide.

The Nigeria international made his Serie A goal number 26 when he got and converted a penalty in the 2-0 win, confirming his Capocannoniere status.

He is also the first African to score 26 goals in a season in the league and won the award.

Reacting to this, excited Osimhen described his feeling as amazing, having won the Scudetto, which is the most important thing in his career.

He further expressed gratitude to God, his teammates, his family, and the Neapolitans for the support, adding that they deserve the success.

“I don’t know; the president has to decide that. I love the people of Napoli; they have shown me so much love. I don’t mind, the president decides, and I will go with the flow.”
