Napoli striker Victor Osimhen says he has “unwavering” love for the club and has urged “unity” among its fanbase.
The Serie A club were criticised for sharing a video on TikTok appearing to mock the Nigerian for missing a penalty last week but said they “never meant to offend” the 24-year-old.
After scoring in Napoli’s 4-0 win at Lecce on Saturday, Osimhen reiterated his love for Napoli on Instagram.
Osimhen’s agent threatened legal action against the club for the post, which has now been deleted, while manager Rudi Garcia said midweek he is “invested 100%” in the Serie A club despite the incident.
Nigeria’s Sports Minister John Owan Enoh said his country is pursuing diplomatic avenues with Italy over the incident, and insisted the Nigerian government places a priority on protecting the welfare of its athletes.
