Osimhen is the front-runner to take home the prize after a standout 2022–2023 campaign with Napoli.

The Partenopei won the Scudetto for the first time in thirty-three years thanks to 26 goals from the striker. 

Osimhen is attempting to become the first Nigerian to take home the honor since Nwankwo Kanu won the coveted award in 1999.
