Napoli striker Victor Osimhen was included in the 2023/24 Serie A Team of the Season after an impressive campaign with Napoli.

The 25-year-old was listed among the 23-man squad unveiled by Serie A via their official social media handles.

Despite not matching his previous season's remarkable tally of 26 goals in 33 appearances, which led Napoli to their first Scudetto title in 33 years, the Nigerian international had a decent campaign on an individual level.

Osimhen faced challenges, including missing one month of action due to the African Cup of Nations and being sidelined for a portion of Napoli's matches due to injury.

Nevertheless, the Super Eagles striker managed to score 15 goals in 24 Serie A outings.

Check out the Serie A top scorer's chart below:

1. Lautaro Martinez (Inter) - 26
2. Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus) - 24
3. Olivier Giroud (Milan) - 15
Victor Osimhen (Napoli) - 15
5. Albert Gudmundsson (Genoa) - 14
6. Duvan Zapata (Atalanta/Torino) - 13
6. Hakan Çalhanoglu (Inter) - 13
6. Marcus Thuram (Inter) - 13
6. Paulo Dybala (Roma) - 13
6. Romelu Lukaku (Roma) - 13

The dethroned Serie A champions put up a poor defense of their league title, managing just 13 wins, 11 losses, and 14 draws to finish in the 9th position.
