Victor Osimhen has scored as a Napoli player today and the Super Eagles striker celebrated his first Serie A goal with #EndPoliceBrutality shirt.
Osimhen’s first Napoli goal came against Atalanta in the 43rd minute.
After scoring, Osimhen was seen holding up a shirt with the inscription “End Police Brutality in Nigeria”.
Earlier, the Nigerian had tweeted in support of #EndSARS protesters in his country.
Napoli paid French club Lille a club record fee of up to 80 million euros ($94.6 million) to bring Nigeria forward to southern Italy on a five-year deal.
The total fee is almost double Napoli’s previous club record of around 40 million euros paid for Gonzalo Higuain in 2013 and Hirving Lozano last year.
