TikTok trolling: Osimhen set to sue Napoli for serious damage
Nigeria's Victor Osimhen could sue Napoli for an injurious TikTok post by the club's official handle.
The Nigerian striker has been unable to replicate his form from last season under new manager Rudi Garcia, scoring only three times in the opening six matches of the season for Napoli, who have also struggled as a result.
In the Partenopei’s most recent match, Osimhen failed to find the net yet again and worse still missed a late penalty before flaring up at his coach when he was taken off.
Osimhen has since apologised for his aggression towards the head coach during the match, but has already picked up a new aggression against the club itself after Napoli’s TikTok account posted a video making fun of Osimhen’s penalty miss.
Osimhen urged to leave Napoli
Following backlash, Napoli’s account on the social media platform deleted the video, but with Osimhen considering legal action, the Nigerian’s time at the club seems to be coming to a shocking end.

Journalist Piers Morgan, who unofficially engineered the exit of Manchester United icon Cristiano Ronaldo from the club in 2022 has now waded in on Osimhen’s situation asking the Super Eagles forward to leave Napoli due to the “disrespect” he was shown.
Morgan, a life-long Arsenal fan encouraged Osimhen to join the Gunners where he would receive maximum respect in a message posted on social media platform X.
The former BBC anchorman wrote, “Don’t take this terrible treatment @victorosimhen9 - come to Arsenal instead.”
Osimhen was linked with a number of top clubs in the summer including the Gunners, but was adamant on staying with Napoli, however, given the recent events. He might be forced to change his mind.
