After his three-star performance against Sassuolo in the Italian Serie A on Saturday, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen says his goal celebration was for his daughter reports BSNSports.com.ng.

Recall Osimhen as his partner welcomed her some weeks back in Italy.

The Nigerian who thanked Luciano Spalletti for giving him ‘as much confidence as he can get, had the match ball tucked under his arm, as is traditional for a hat-trick hero, and has caught Marko Arnautovic of Bologna as Capocannoniere on seven Serie A goals this season.

He got two of them on assists from Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, who also found the net himself in the 4-0 win over Sassuolo.

“Congratulations to the team, I am happy to contribute, to this win. Of course it is good to have as many goals as this, I want to keep the momentum going,” Osimhen told DAZN.

It has been a more prolific campaign than ever for the striker, so what has changed at Napoli this season?

“This season the coach has given me as much confidence as I can get. I given to rely on him giving me the maximum confidence. I have just returned from five weeks out, which is not easy, and important to get really integrated with the team.”

Osimhen was asked to explain the goal celebration, where he seems to draw some letters in the air.

“That signal was for my daughter. Every moment I score or do something good, I do it for her. She is my life now and I am happy to dedicate everything to her.”
