Napoli striker Victor Osimhen will âreserve the right to take legal action’ against his own club following a bizarre video posted by the club seemingly mocking the player
Victor Osimhen will âreserve the right to take legal action’ against his own club Napoli mocked the striker on their official TikTok account.
Osimhen helped fire Napoli to a first league title in over 30 years last time out with a standout campaign in which he netted 31 goals across all competitions. However, he was the target of a bizarre video posted from the club’s own social media profile on Tuesday.
The video centred on an incident in the club’s scoreless draw against Bologna on Sunday, in which Osimhen spurned the opportunity to win the game from the penalty spot. That proved to be the game’s defining moment and was a rare miss from the Nigerian â who had bagged three goals in his first five matches this season.
Yet Napoli’s peculiar video focused on Osimhen appealing for the penalty, using a strange and rather unsettling sped-up voice â which appeared to have no context, other than to mock the striker for his attempts to persuade the decision to be given.
