Viktor Osymen scored 100 career goals, faster than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

Brought in for 75 million euros from Lille in the summer of 2020, Viktor Osymen is Napoli’s most suitable player, along with Georgian Kvaratskhelia.

The Nigerian striker is also one of the most sought-after players in Europe, with Manchester United keen on him.

Currently valued at €70 million per Transfermarkt, Viktor Osimen has reached the 100 career goal mark.

It took the Nigerian just 197 matches to achieve the feat, much faster than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

While it took Leo Messi 210 games to score his first 100 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo achieved the feat after just 301 games.

Only Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland needed fewer games to score their first 100 goals. The Paris Saint-Germain forward achieved the feat after 180 appearances, while the Manchester City man reached 100 in just 146 games.

Only this winter, “Napoli” refused Viktor Osimen’s offer of 135 million euros.
