Napoli centre-forward Victor Osimhen has earned a nomination at the 13th edition of the Globe Soccer Awards, reports Sports247.ng. The Nigerian International is one of twenty players shortlisted for the Power Horse Emerging Player of the Year award.
The 2022 Globe Soccer Awards ceremony will take place at the Madinat Jumeirah hotel in Dubai on November 17, just three days before the start of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Osimhen scored 18 goals last season which earned him a nomination for the inaugural Emerging Player of the Year prize at the Globe Soccer Awards.
