Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has won three top-flight league titles in two European countries between 2023 and 2026. 

The 27-year-old, who plays for Turkish club Galatasaray and is vice-captain of Nigeria, won the Serie A championship with Napoli in Italy before claiming consecutive Süper Lig titles in Turkey. The three championships span four seasons and involve two different leagues.

Osimhen's first title came on 4 May 2023, when Napoli drew 1-1 away at Udinese to clinch the Serie A championship. He scored the equaliser in the second half, his 22nd league goal of the season. The result gave Napoli their first Scudetto in 33 years and their third overall. Osimhen finished the campaign as Serie A's top scorer with 26 goals, becoming the first African player to win the league's Golden Boot.

After moving to Turkey, Osimhen won the Süper Lig with Galatasaray on 18 May 2025. He joined the Istanbul club initially on loan for the 2024-25 season and helped the team complete a domestic double. 

He scored the opening goal in a 3-0 home victory over Kayserispor that secured the club's 25th league title. He ended the season as the league's top scorer with 26 goals and also won the Turkish Cup. 

Osimhen signed permanently in July 2025 and claimed a third title on 9 May 2026. He scored twice in Galatasaray's 4-2 win over Antalyaspor at RAMS Park in Istanbul, sealing a fourth straight championship and the club's record 26th league crown.
