The battle line for the Italian Serie A top scorer award has been drawn between two Nigerian brothers, Ademola Lookman of Atalanta and Victor Osimhen of Napoli.

This has led to Atalanta Bergamo winger Ademola Lookman drawing themedia attention to himself after he convincely stated that he must catch up with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in terms of goals this season.

Osimhen is currently leading the scoring chart in the Serie A with 13 goals with Ademola trailing by 2 Goals; but the latter is convinced he will catch up and probably usurp his compartriot and win the Golden Boot award.

"I will catch him," he said smiling.

"Not I might, I will," he added.

Its a wonderful season for the former Leicester City forward who has become an integral part of Gian Piero Gasperini's side.

With 19 games left to end this season and both Nigerians topping the scorer's chart in Italy, it promises to be an interesting fight ahead especially with a record about to be broken as know African player has ever won the top scorer award before in Italy.
