Picking up the ball in the penalty area, Osimhen scooped the ball up with a delightful first touch, before using his chest to hold it close.

The striker then shielded the ball while doing keepie-uppies with his knee, before using his head to knock the ball between two defenders.

Using his pace, Osimhen somehow managed to keep hold of possession before cutting it back across the penalty area to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who slammed it into the top corner of the net.

That goal put Napoli 2-0 up and while Cagliari managed to claw one back, Osimhen’s assist left social media in awe.

One fan wrote: “This assist from Victor Osimhen is outrageous.”

Another called it: “Pure madness,” while another said: “That assist is out of this world.”

A fourth supporter said: “This Osimhen assist is pure filth,” with another adding: “He can’t be stopped!”

The Nigerian striker is a top transfer target for the Blues with a January move a distinct possibility, talkSPORT understands.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side will certainly be taking notice of his performances as they look at ways to move themselves back into contention to challenge the Premier League’s elite.

While a hamstring injury has disrupted his season, Osimhen has still managed eight goals and three assists in 16 appearances for Napoli.
