ALVISE CAGNAZZO: Victor Osimhen is hot property after spearheading Napoli's Serie A triumph as the likes of Man United and Chelsea circle... but the £104m forward is one of four jewels in the crown they MUST keep to maintain dominance in Italy

Napoli sensation Victor Osimhen became the highest scoring African footballer in Serie A history by netting the only goal in their win over Fiorentina last week.

His match-winning penalty, the 23rd of a remarkable season which has propelled Napoli to its first Scudetto since 1990, was goal No 47 in Italy's top flight, taking him past former AC Milan star George Weah, a Ballon d'Or winner in the 90s, in the history books.

Weah had produced his tally of 46 Serie A goals from 1995 to 2000, yet Osimhen has set a new record for African players in two years fewer.
