Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has been awarded the Best African Player award at the Ghana Football Awards, ahead of Treble winner Riyadh Mahrez and Mohammed Salah. Osimhen scored 31 goals in all competitions last season, helping Napoli win the Serie A title for the first time in over three decades. His best season as a professional player has seen him scoop awards and break records. Osimhen thanked the organisers for the award and promised to make Africa proud. His brilliant season also saw him win the top scorer award with 26 goals and break George Weah's record as the African with the highest number of goals in Serie A history.
