Ahead of Napoli’s final match for the season, Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has been named the best striker in Serie A for the 2022/23 League season. The announcement was made on the official Twitter handle of the Italian top-flight division. Osimhen, who played a crucial role in Napoli clinching their first Serie A title since the 1989/1990 season, emerged as the winner of the prestigious Serie A best striker award, beating out competitors Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan and Rafael Leao of AC Milan. The talented Nigerian forward has been recognized for his impressive goal-scoring prowess throughout the season. Napoli's Georgian player, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, was also honored as the Player of the Season by Serie A for his remarkable contributions to the team's success. Kvaratskhelia, who joined Napoli from Dinamo Batumi before the campaign, made a significant impact with his 12 goals and 10 assists in 33 games. This recognition further solidifies Napoli's exceptional season. Additionally, Napoli's coach Luciano Spalletti was awarded the title of Serie A Coach of the Season, while Kim Min-Jae received the honor of best defender. Inter's Barella claimed the best midfielder award, and Lazio's Ivan Provedel was named Serie A's best goalkeeper. Juventus' young talent Fagioli was acknowledged as the best Under-23 Italian player. As the 2022-23 campaign comes to a close, some important matters, including the final relegation spot and European qualification, are yet to be determined.
