Victor Osimhen renews contract with Napoli

ANKARA

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has renewed his contract with reigning Italian Serie A champions Napoli, the club announced on Saturday.

The 24-year-old will remain with the Naples club until 2026, according to a club statement.

After an offensive TikTok video released from Napoli's official account in September, there were rumors about a falling out between the Italian club and the African Footballer of the Year award winner.

Osimhen, who helped Napoli win the 2022-23 Italian league title by becoming the top scorer of the season with 26 goals, was recently linked with English Premier League side Chelsea.
