International Federation of Football History and Statistics<\/a> (IFFHS) Men’s World Best Player 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
The main distinction is that the performances of the players for the calendar year were taken into account and not the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Osimhen had a great year at Napoli, scoring 27 goals in 39 games across all competitions and played a crucial role as Napoli lifted their first Serie A crown since 1990 in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the international stage, the 2015 Fifa U17 World Cup Golden Boot winner mustered five goals in five appearances for the Nigeria national team, including a hat-trick against\u00a0S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the back of those performances, he was nominated for the prestigious\u00a0Ballon d’Or and The Best FIFA Men’s Player, and is guaranteed a podium finish when the winner of the African Footballer of the Year is announced on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other nominees that stand out above the rest are:\u00a0Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Erling Haaland (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain), Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Cristiano Ronaldo ( Al Nassr).<\/p>\n
\nTwo players with a Nigerian background in the shape of Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka and Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala are both in the running for the IFFHS Men’s World Best Player 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n
