"Victor Osimhen's win at the 2023 CAF awards show is not coincidental. A hero at Napoli, Osimhen has proved his worth for club and country for the months in review. Kudos to other nominees, but Osimhen was more important to his team's success than Hakimi and Salah. If he stays fit for the 2023/24 season, I'm seeing him back on the podium."
