Osimhen Deems To Be Third Highest African Scorer In Europe

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen is the third-highest scoring African player in Europe’s top leagues (EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1)

According to report, the 21year old has scored 18 in all competitions for Lille since he joined in the off-season from Belgian side Charleroi in a deal worth €12m.

The Nigeria international took his tally to 13 Ligue 1 goals in Lille’s 2-1 home loss to Olympique Marseille last Sunday.

The strike was his 10th Ligue 1 goal at the Pierre Mauroy, scoring three away goals as well in the French topflight.

Osimhen, who has been heavily linked with a move away from the Pierre Mauroy this summer, is behind Arsenal and Gabonese captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Liverpool’s Egypt forward Mohamed Salah.

The pair has scored 15 and 14 league goals respectively for their EPL teams this season.

Meanwhile, in the football statistics list, Liverpool’s Sadio Mane and FC Metz’s Habib Diallo, with 12 goals each,  both ranked fourth.
