Nigeria and Napoli forward, Victor Osiheme, who broke the transfer record as the most expensive African player, has been spotted playing on a grassless pitch with friends in Lagos.

The 22-year-old returned home after a long season in Italy to join his childhood friends as they played street football as he enjoys the summer holidays.

In photos shared on Facebook by Futbol Connect, the lanky attacker is seen in his Napoli jersey serving onlookers with amazing skills and also having pep talks with his friends.

Osiheme is Napoli's record signing after the Italian giants broke the bank to buy the former FIFA U-17 World Cup winner for €70 million.

Last season, the Nigerian striker netted 10 goals in 24 appearances in his debut serie A campaign, despite struggling with injuries.

He is expected to return to Italy in July to begin preseason with the Blues as they prepare for the 2021/22 campaign.
