The Nigerian international, who scored a total of 31 goals to help Napoli clinch the Serie A title and reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League last season, was the only African player on the list of nominees for 2023 FIFA men’s player award released on Thursday by the world soccer governing body.

The list is dominated by Manchester City FC’s 2022-23 treble-winning squad, while coach Pep Guardiola was also nominated for The Best FIFA Men’s Coach alongside four of his peers.

Osimhen has established himself as one of Europe’s deadliest marksmen and his outstanding goal-scoring statistics have not gone unnoticed to the eyes of Europe’s wealthiest clubs, with the likes of Manchester United, Bayern, and Chelsea all expressing an interest in acquiring his services in the near future.

Haaland’s Man City team-mates Julián Álvarez, Kevin De Bruyne, lkay Gündoan and Bernardo Silva joined him on the shortlist for impressive contributions to Pep Guardiola-treble-winning squad.
