The Napoli striker has been the Italian side’s biggest weapon and source of goals this season.
Osimhen has scored 14 goals and provided 3 assists this season in the Serie A as Napoli are flying and on their way towards the Scudetto.
His consistency and accuracy have left defenders bewildered as Napoli have managed 53 points from 20 matches.
With a 13-point advantage at the top, it is no surprise that the side from Naples are on course for a first league title since 1990.

The Barcelona striker is next in line with 18 goal contributions in the La Liga so far. He has led Xavi’s side in front of goal scoring 14 and setting up 4 in the 2022-23 season.
Barcelona has a 8-point lead at the top due to their winning ability which has been largely down to the quality of their attackers.
It has taken no time for Lewandowski to acclimatize to the La Liga after his summer move from Bayern as he has continued his goal-scoring run.
Lionel Messi
Post a breath-taking World Cup, Messi has continued his play-making skills to the fullest at PSG.
Messi has scored 9 and set up 10 goals this season taking his goal contribution tally to 19.
PSG’s title challenge has been rocked by recent results, but Messi’s form remains crucial to their charge with the likes of Neymar, Mbappe also doing well.

Lionel has scored twice since the World Cup while also breaking Ronaldo’s record.
After his goal last night, Messi (697) broke Ronaldo’s record for most goals across Europe’s top 5 league.
Neymar
The Brazilian has probably played his best football this season since the big-money move to PSG.
With 22 goal contributions, Neymar is at the top of his game in the La Liga. He has scored 12 goals and assisted 10 others as well to keep PSG atop.
His combination-play with Messi and Mbappe has created a stir this season with the trio destroying defenses.
