Victor James Osimhen is a decent criterion of the statement Slum to the World. On Monday, the Nigerian-born striker shared a photo of himself playing at Napoli amidst his present superb form with a photo of him playing in the ghetto back then. I believe he is the tall guy standing without cloth and watching how the ball moves.
Osimhen cracked the internet last year after Napoli signed him from Lile with a club-record fee of $96m and becomes the most expensive player in the whole of Africa. And just yesterday he's linked with Chelsea football club, Osimeh has always loved to watch his idol Drogba playing at Chelsea when growing up. Not only Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester United are also routing for the 22-year-old striker.
Victor Osimhen grew up alongside his brother Andrew and 4 other siblings in Olusosun, a small community around Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos. source
Victor Osimhen has scored 7 goals in his last 6 games for the Italian side Napoli and even ported one goal in their defeat yesterday against Spartak Moscow of Russia in the Europa League Game. Napoli is presently leading the Serie A Table securing 6 wins in 6 games with 18 points.
Who would have thought that the young tall guy would be where he's today and some of the biggest clubs out there are eager to sign him! Anything is possible in football not only in football but in life. If you're passionate about your dream and have the burning desire to succeed at it, surely you will get there. It’s a quote by Napoleon Hill in the Think and Grow Rich book "What you think believe you can conceive". Osimhen, the ghetto boy has now changed the lives of all his family today!
