Victor James Osimhen Super Eagles star has received an official apology from Napoli who explained the idea behind their infamous TikTok post making fun of the Nigerian star’s penalty.
Napoli have officially explained a TikTok video of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen who is a professional footballer and plays as a striker for Serie a club Napoli and the Nigeria national team.

The video, which was later deleted after backlash, was badly received by Osimhen and his entourage, with the Super Eagles star’s agent threatening the club with legal action.
However, Napoli have now released a statement, throwing their full weight behind Osimhen and explaining their recent social media post.
“In order to avoid any exploitation on the subject, Calcio Napoli specifies that it has never wanted to offend or make fun of Victor Osimhen, who is a treasure of the club,” the statement read.
“As proof of this, during the summer retreat, the club firmly rejected any offer received for the attacker’s transfer abroad.”
Napoli explain Osimhen TikTok post
Napoli explained that the post on TikTok was only part of the happy-go-lucky nature of posts on the club’s channel and not an intended slight on their star forward.
Following the falling out with Napoli on social media, Osimhen purged his Instagram page of pictures relating to the Partenopei and even refused to celebrate when he scored in the first match since the incident in a 4-1 win over Udinese.
These have led to speculation over Osimhen’s continuance with Napoli, with clubs in England and Saudi Arabia reportedly keeping tabs on the developing situation to potentially swoop in the January window.
