Napoli striker Victor Osimhen says the clubs recent success has made him ‘addicted’ to winning trophies. The Nigerian international was at the forefront of the Partenopei’s title success, taking the capocannoniere title along the way to securing a historic Scudetto. Speaking with Soccernet, the 24-year-old revealed how the clubs success has made him eager to begin the new season, and how the love of Naples has impacted him:
“I’ve won one of the most prestigious titles in world football. And I won it with a club that appreciates the little things you do for them.
“Winning the Scudetto is a big one for me. Whatsoever thing that comes after this (will also be) a big one for me, like the Champions League, the League Cup, and all sorts.
“I’m so proud that I am actually a Scudetto winner, for me, it’s a huge one.
“Whatsoever honour that comes after this, I will welcome it. And I am really working hard to make sure, and now I am addicted to trophies because now the Scudetto is my first trophy as a pro.
“Now I’m addicted, and I can’t wait for the new season to come.
“I have never seen a city crazier about football like the way the Neapolitans are, They show all their players love. And wherever I go to, I am being respected. Kids love me, a lot of people admire me, they idolize me by putting on the replica of my mask.
“It shows the hard work I have given to them and what I mean to them. And for me, there’s no better place to be than this place.
“I am so happy I made the right choice by coming here. And achieving this kind of greatness with the Neapolitans is something that I will wake up and always smile about.
“My children’s children will come into this world and realize that their father has done something amazing.”
