Osimhen, who got the award today, turned to Twitter to express his appreciation and thank everyone who have supported him so far.

“Just Receive The @Globe_Soccer Award For The Power Horse Emerging Player Of The Year,” he wrote.

“Thank You For The Recognition, And To Those That Have Been Supporting Me Through The Years, I Appreciate Y’all.GOD Is The Greatest💯🙏🏽 @sscnapoli @Globe_Soccer” he added.

The failure of Nigeria to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which may have given the Nigerian attacker the opportunity to showcase more of his abilities on the international stage, is something he would like to forget for the time being.

However, his recent nominations and awards are evidence that he has consistently performed well.
