According to the official website of Les Dogues, Osimhen is second in shots with 86 and only Kylian Mbappe (87) has so far done better than the Nigeria national-teamer.
From his 86 shots, thirteen have ended up in the back of the net, making him the fourth highest goalscorer in the division behind Mbappé and Ben Yedder (both 18) and Dembélé (16).
When it comes to aerial duels, Osimhen is second with 120 headers won, behind Dijon's Dijonnais Julio Tavares (176).
