Victor Osimhen: Why are clubs not lining up to sign the Napoli marksman?
Here are some posts by fans who disagree with Osimhen's position on the list
Verdict - Osimhen should have been higher
)
Osimhen scored 31 goals last season, just one short of Harry Kane's total of 32 but the Nigerian did so in fewer appearances. He was also more impactful than the England captain as well as Karim Benzema over the course of the season.
The 24-year-old scored crucial goals to lift Napoli to the Serie A title and his absence was also keenly felt as his team cashed out in the Champions League quarter-final. An outstanding season for the Super Eagles forward.
