Osimhen’s fondness for Nigerian dishes has been well noted, as he has mentioned previously that ‘amala’ is his preferred local meal.

Beyond his playful off-field moments, Osimhen recently played a key role in assisting his team to win both the Turkish Süper Lig title and the Turkish Cup during a loan spell after a dispute with Napoli’s management.
