In the following campaign, he finished as the league's top scorer with 26 goals, a record-high for an African player, as he helped Napoli win a first Serie A title in 33 years. For his efforts, he won the league's Best Striker award, prior to being named Serie A Footballer of the Year a few months later. Osimhen is currently the highest scoring African player in the history of Serie A. Osimhen was loaned to Turkish side Galatasaray ahead of the 2024–25 season, where he finished as the league's top scorer and won a domestic double.
