Napoli remove Osimhen from Serie A squad, hand No. 9 shirt to Lukaku

Napoli have stripped Victor Osimhen of the no.9 shirt amid his failed move to Chelsea.

Osimhen’s shirt will now be worn by Romelu Lukaku this season.

Lukaku was signed by the Serie A club to replace the Nigerian striker, with the hope that he would move the other way to Stamford Bridge.

However, with Osimhen’s future in limbo, the former Italian champions have decided to exile the player.
