Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is certainly an Icon in Naples and the adoring fans gave him a king's welcome on his return to the club.
Osimhen resumed pre-season training with Napoli on Tuesday at the Carciato field in Dimaro Folgarida.
Osimhen returns to Napoli
The Nigeria international was given a rousing welcome by adoring fans after his inspirational performances last season.
Osimhen was pivotal as Napoli won the Scudetto for the first time since 1990, winning the golden boot and finishing the season with 31 goals in all competitions.
His absence was felt as Napoli crashed out in the Champions League quarter-final to fellow Serie A side AC Milan. He missed the first leg through injury but returned to score in the second leg.
