Victor Osimhen pays tribute to George Weah after breaking his Serie A record

Victor Osimhen, a Nigerian footballer, has honored George Weah, a former AC Milan player, after breaking his record to become the highest-scoring African player in the history of the Italian Serie A.

Osimhen scored the only goal in Napoli’s 1-0 win over Fiorentina to achieve this feat.

The 24-year-old striker surpassed Samuel Eto’o’s previous record for the most goals scored by an African player in a single Serie A season.

Osimhen expressed his admiration for Weah, whom he considers an African football legend, in a heartfelt post on Twitter.

He hailed Weah’s achievements and expressed his gratitude for the support he has received on his journey.

“While growing up, I have always admired the great achievements of so many African legends, and His Excellency Mr George Weah is one of them—an icon in the world of football and also a leader to his people. Someone who has motivated and inspired millions of young talents alike.

“Yesterday, it was a great honor to break his record as the top-scoring African player in Serie A history—an achievement I will forever cherish. Mr George Weah has set a foundation of excellence for individuals like me to emulate, and his legacy will forever be remembered.

“I celebrate this milestone with everyone who has inspired and supported me on this journey. Thank you for your contributions. God is the greatest,” Victor Osimhen stated.
