Victor Osimhen confirms Udinese as his favorite target. The Nigerian striker scores almost every time they face the team from Friuli, something he did in the 1-1 draw in the 35th week of Serie A.
A goal that equals the record held by Dries Mertens and Gonzalo Higuain as the 25-year-old has scored in the last 6 times he has faced Udinese.
He became the third player to score in six consecutive games against a single team in the Italian top flight in the 3-point era. As for Higuian and Mertens, the duo had a single favorite team, Bologna. Osihmen has scored 15 goals and three assists in 23 championship games for the southerners.
Form that keeps the former champions of Italy in eighth place and in the race for a place in the European Cups next season. Osimhen was signed by Napoli in 2020 from Lille for 70 million euros, a record for the Italian club, plus 10 million euros in bonuses.
Despite signing a contract extension with the Italian club until 2026, including a new release clause of over €100 million, there is speculation that the 25-year-old has interest from many other teams.
Chelsea are among the favorites to sign the Nigerian, however, he has been warned against joining the two-time European champions.
