Victor Osimhen has won the Emerging Player Of The Year at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, beating out Barcelona midfielder Gavi and Real Madrid star Federico Valverde.
The Super Eagles striker has been outstanding for Napoli this season in all competitions, so this is a huge accomplishment for him.
Along with Gavi, Valverde, Hareb Abdullah, Julian Alvarez, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Francisco Conceiçao, Ryan Gravenberch, Josko Gvardiol, Nuno Mendes, Ilaix Moriba, Jamal Musiala, Pedri, Bukaio Saka, and Milan actor Rafael Leao, he was nominated for a Golden Globe for best actor for “The Revenant.”
But Osimhen triumphed over them in Dubai to win the prestigious prize. According to the confirmation from Globe, the Napoli man is the first recipient of the prize because the category was only introduced this year.
Speaking about Osimhen’s award, Super Eagles coordinator Pascal Patrick urged the Nigerian striker to keep giving both his club and his country’s team his all.
