Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has finally addressed his current circumstances with the club after a recent incident involving him. Following his penalty miss, Napoli’s official TikTok account taunted him, leading to Osimhen deleting nearly all of his Napoli-related posts on Instagram. His response received criticism from certain fans, who accused him of showing disrespect to the people of Naples.
In a heartfelt statement released yesterday, Osimhen expressed his gratitude for the love and support he has received since joining Napoli in 2020. He called for unity and extended his thanks to Nigerians and his loved ones who have stood by him during these challenging times.
“Coming to the city of Naples in 2020 was a wonderful decision for me. the people of Napoli have shown me so much love and kindness, and I will not allow anyone to come between us
“The passion of the people of Naples fuels my fire to always play with my heart and soul and the love for the badge is unwavering as I wear it with pride The accusations against people of Naples are untrue, I have a lot of friends that are Napolitans and have become part of my family and everyday life. I appreciate Nigerians and everyone for leading their voices and reach out to me.
I’m forever grateful, let’s support unity, respect and understanding. FORZA NAPOLI SEMPRE”.
Despite the ridicule he faced, he managed to find the net in consecutive matches for Napoli, bringing his total number of goals to five in just seven Serie A appearances.
