12 goals in 14 games without a penalty. What a feat. I hope you score as many as 30 goals this season.
He can’t achieve that without penalties, spalleti and the other Napoli teammates should give him the penalty duties cause he has a great Chance of becoming the highest goalscorer, if immobile starts now with his penalties he will easily past osimhen, Napoli has played 6 penalties in serie a none assigned to osimhen which is not professional
He can achieve it and he might!
He might necessarily get to 30 goals exactly but he could score 25 or more goals. That would be great. I heard that in the history of the serie A no African player has ever topped the goal scorers chart at the end of the season. This is a chance for osimhen and lookman to make history in Italy. They need to work really hard and achieve what no other African player has achieved in the serie A before, in terms of the numbers of goals scored at the end of the season.
