Super Eagles and Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen is on the verge of surpassing a record set by former Swedish international, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Osimhen who has won the Serie A title with Napoli already this season can break Ibrahimovic 2008/09 record if he finished the season as the top scorer.

Inter Milan's Ibrahimovic helped his side win Serie A and was also the highest goal scorer.

The Swedish star ended the campaign with 25 goals, edging Diego Milito by a single goal.

That feat is yet to be broken and Osimhen is in prime position to break it.

With just three games remaining in the season, Osimhen has a chance to finish as the league's top goal-scorer.

The former Lille striker has found the back of the net 23 times, putting him ahead of Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez, who is his closest competitor with 20 goals.

Osimhen has been in scintillating form, playing a pivotal role in Napoli's successful title campaign.

In addition to his team's achievement, Osimhen has also made history by becoming the leading African goal-scorer in Serie A, surpassing the legendary George Weah's record. He has now netted an impressive total of 47 goals in the Italian league.
