Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is on course to emulate Zlatan Ibrahimovic's feat in the Serie A.
Napoli already have the Serie A title in the bag, their first in 33 years; however, despite leading I Partenopei to this tremendous achievement, Victor Osimhen cannot afford to take his foot off the gas, as he is still in the race for the Capocannoniere.
With four games to go and three goals ahead of the next best player, Lautaro Martinez, the Lagos-born finisher could become the first player to win the highest goal scorer award alongside a league title in 14 years.

Osimhen on course for the double
The former Lille man is currently on 23 league goals this season, a feat he achieved in only 26 starts.
However, charging behind him is the in-form Martinez, who has 20 goals. The Argentine has been scoring at an impressive rate lately, and if recent Serie A history is to be considered, Lautaro could pip Victor to the Capocannoniere.
The Italian top flight has not had a player win the golden boot and league title since the 2008/09 season when Zlatan Ibrahimovic claimed both honours with Inter Milan.
Zlatan (25) beat Genoa's Diego Milito and Bologna's Marco Di Vaio by the slimmest of margins, one goal, but it was well enough. However, since he managed it, no other player has enjoyed both in the same season.
