Osimhen catching up to Weah's Serie A record

In sharp contrast, Napoli's Victor Osimhen looks head and shoulders above the continent's other goal getters at the moment, and added his 10th league goal of the season on Sunday as Napoli defeated Sampdoria 2-0 away.

It was a valuable triumph for the Partenopei -- who lost their first league game of the season at Internazionale on Wednesday -- as they immediately got their title challenge back on track ahead of the visit of Juventus on Friday.

Osimhen's latest strike keeps him well out in front in the Serie A goal charts -- two ahead of Lautaro Martinez, Marko Arnautovic and M'Bala Nzola -- while he also equals a record set by the legendary George Weah in the Italian top flight.

Osimhen and Weah are the only two African players to have hit double figures for goals in three separate Serie A campaigns, with the letter having done it between 1995 and 1998.

The Nigerian is still some way off the Liberia President's overall goal haul in the top flight; Weah netted 46 across five seasons with AC Milan, the most by an African player in the league, while Osimhen currently has 34 since signing for Napoli from LOSC Lille in 2020..
