Victor Osimhen's profile: religion, salary, top speed, family

Victor Osimhen is just about the biggest star of modern Nigerian football. He attracted attention in the summer due to the Napoli exit saga, but still the fans loved him for his play on the pitch. The Dailysports team have put together a profile of the notable Nigerian forward for you.

Victor Osimhen: family

Osimhen's childhood was really tough. As a child, he lost his mum. This, as the forward himself says, unusually hardened both himself and his two brothers and four sisters. Victor's father managed to see the first successes of his son. He lived to the age of 80 and died in 2020, when Victor was already playing for Lille.

Victor Osimhen: religion

Public sources indicate that he is a Christian by religion, but it is not known which particular branch of Christianity he professes. He is not as devout as his father, but when he comes to Nigeria he attends church, although he refers to God in his public statements.
