The race for the Capocannoniere (top scorer’s award) in Serie A hots up with Super Eagles duo, Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman the two leading gladiators.
Osimhen and Lookman are looking to become the first African to finish as the leading marksman in the history of the Italian top-flight.
George Weah and Samuel Eto, two of Africa’s most deadliest strikers to have played in Serie A, failed to achieve the feat during their time.
Osimhen currently sits at the top of the log with 13 goals from 15 league appearances.
The 23-year-old missed out of action for around a month last year as a result of injury and could probably have scored more goals for Napoli.
The striker will have another chance to improve his tally when Napoli host Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Sunday.
Lookman, who is second with 11 goals from 19 league outings, can equal Osimhen’s haul or even move ahead of his compatriot when his club Atalanta face Sampdoria at home on Saturday night.
