Ghana legend Michael Essien has sent a congratulatory message to Nigeria international Victor Osimhen after clinching the Italian Serie A with Napoli.
The Gli Azzuris has won the Italian top-flight for the first time in 33-years. Napoli inflicted a 1-0 win over Fiorentina on home turf to win the title with four games to spare.
Osimhen who has been the main man for Napoli found the back of the net to help his side secure a win that won them the title.
Osimhen followed that up with a record breaking goal against Fiorentina as Napoli were crowned Italian champions.
Essien took to social media to reply to a tweet by the striker, posting bravo with emojis of applause.
"Bravoo," he wrote while congratulating the 24-year-old for his mammoth achievement.
