As the Nigerian superstar navigates the complex terrain of his Napoli future, he carries with him the support of Nigerians and the Napoli fans, who continue to worship him following his performance last season.
He joined Napoli three years ago and netted 31 goals, most (26) of them came in the Serie A, where he emerged as the top scorer.
