Napoli Striker, Victor Osimhen was ecstatic after supplanting the record of George Weah for the most goals scored by an African in Serie A.
Osimhen set a new League goals record, Sunday, when his penalty kick found the back of the net during Napoli’s 1-0 win over Fiorentina at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
The goal was Osimhen’s 47th in the Serie A, surpassing the previous record held by George Weah.
The 24-year-old expressed extreme gratitude to have shattered the record of the renowned George Weah during a post-match interview.
“It’s really amazing. A big respect to George Weah. He put Africa on the map when he was playing here with AC Milan. For me, surpassing him is a big honour, a big respect to him.
