Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, lost Serie A Player of the Year Award to his team-mate, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
He was however rewarded with the Best Serie A Striker award.
Serie A Chief Executive Officer, Luigi De Siervo ,said, “With 12 goals and 10 assists, Kvaratskhelia was one of the leading players for the Azzurri, who won the Scudetto and made many fans and lovers of beautiful football dream
Kvaratskhelia will be presented with the award on Saturday, 3 June, 2023 before they play their final fixture at home to Sampdoria.
The Georgia international, who arrived at Napoli last season for a reported fee of €10 million, was crucial to his team winning their first Serie A title in 33 years.
So much so that the 22-year-old earned the nickname “Kvaradona” in homage to Napoli hero Diego Maradona, who led the team to their only two previous league titles.
