Victor Osimhen got into a row with Napoli fans, suggesting they ‘report me to the police then’ after some unusual Twitter messages.
The striker is currently self-isolating after he tested positive for COVID-19 while back home in Nigeria for the Christmas break and his birthday.
He pulled out of the Africa Cup of Nations, but remains unavailable for the Partenopei.
Osimhen seems to be struggling a little with the self-isolation and is letting loose with a series of cheeky messages on social media, many of them in the Nigerian Pidgin slang.
Someone became irritated with the stream of consciousness and wrote: “You should understand before writing idiotic things, you are a Serie A player followed by so many, use your brain and think before writing this silliness.”
Osimhen was unimpressed with the review of his social media approach and replied in Italian.
“You are very silly, why don’t you report me to the police?”
It was accompanied by a middle finger emoji.
This further annoyed other Napoli fans, including one who exaggeratedly suggested Osimhen ‘only played six games in two years and he’s here telling the fans to get stuffed…’
