Napoli fans have voted Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as the best striker to ever play for the club, picking him ahead of former Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani and ex-Argentina forward Gonzalo Higuain.
Massive social media reactions have been triggered by a video that was shot on the streets of Napoli, where a journalist asked various club supporters to pick the best striker to have ever played for the team.
In the viral clip posted by EuroFoot on X, fans heading to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium ahead of the team’s Champions League home match versus Barcelona were asked to identify the best striker to have ever worn the Napoli jersey.
Osimhen, Cavani, and Higuain were the options given. The poll’s top two selections and the reasons behind them were immediately clear within minutes of its launch.
The results of the poll sparked reactions as the 25-year-old Nigerian emerged as the winner; Osimhen got 20 votes out of the 40 cast, with Cavani earning 14 and Gonzalo defeating the club’s former strikers Cavani and Higuain.
