Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has expressed his happiness after making it in the colour of Napoli on Sunday, BSNSports.com.ng has gathered.

Osimhen scored twice as Napoli defeated Spezia 3-0 and took his goal tally this season to 16.

While speaking to Sky Sports Italia, the former Lille forward congratulated the team for their amazing performance.

"Congratulations to the team, it’s good to contribute two goals. Big respect to Spezia, they gave us a good fight in the first half,” said Osimhen.

“We needed the points to keep the momentum going. I’m happy with the win and of course, to be in the history books of Napoli is a great privilege for me, so I am very happy about this", he said.

The Nigerian became the fourth Napoli player to score 16 goals in the first 21 Serie A games of the season, following in the footsteps of Luis Vinicio in 1955-56, Edinson Cavani in 2012-13 and Gonzalo Higuain in 2015-16.
