A die-hard Italian football fan has had a special tattoo imprinted on his leg as tribute to red-hot Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen, who was instrumental to Napoli’s first Scudetto after 33 years.
The 24-year-old Nigerian has been impressive this season in the Italian Serie A scoring 23 goals from 29 appearances, to emerge the top African marks man in Italy with 47 goals.
His goal form this campaign has sent Naples into a frenzy, given rise to the most disparate imagination by fans engaging in initiatives of all kinds such as hair dyed blue, extraordinary choreography or even tattoos of all kinds to appreciate the Nigerian.
During the week, a Napoli fan went the extra mile to express his thanks to Osimhen by getting a special tattoo.
The fan got his left leg tattooed with a picture which portrayed the face of the Nigerian attacker with his distinctive signs: his blond hair and the mask that accompanies it after his face injury following a clash of heads with Inter Milan defender, Skriniar.
