He was named alongside Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, Manchester City stars Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan and Rodri.
Osimhen recorded 31 goals in all competitions for Napoli last season and also helped the Italian outfit scoop the league title.

The 24-year-old is also in the running for the Ballon d'Or alongside 29 others.
The award was formally known as FIFA World Player of the Year and FIFA Ballon d'Or but has been called the Best FIFA Men's Player of the Year since 2016
Other players listed for the award are seven-time winner Lionel Messi, Marcelo Brozović, Kylian Mbappe and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
