Osimhen registered 10 goals in 24 league appearances for the Partenopei last season.
This season, the 23-year-old has scored nine goals in 19 league appearances for the Blues.

Former Inter Milan forward Obafemi Martins came close to achieving the feat in the 2005/06 campaign.
Martins scored 11 goals in the previous season, but could only registered nine in the following campaign.
A win in the encounter will also see Napoli secure top spot in Serie A, which will change if AC Milan beat Cagliari later in the day.

OSIGOAL/IGHALORD!!!
Baba, just be careful today. Plav safe o. No gragra. If pass or goal no come, no stress yourself. We need to PERMANENTLY shut the leaky running tap mouth of these loud Ghanaians on Friday in their own backyard – like we did to Cameroun 4-0 in 2018. Now, they know their place and are humble.
You in front of Ighalo/Iheanacho and Simon /Lookman and Dennis/Chukwueze from the wings. Let’s see how they survive the onslaught for even 30 minutes in Kumasi – not even talk 90 minutes. Options too many sef.
