Victor Osimhen is furious with Napoli after the Italian champions posted a video which mocked the striker\u2019s penalty miss at the weekend.<\/p>\n
Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
In a bizarre post on the club\u2019s TikTok account, Napoli\u2019s video showed footage of Osimhen appealing for the penalty in the goalless draw with Bologna on Sunday with a squeaky, sped-up voice dubbed over the top. The clip, which has now been deleted, then showed the Nigeria international missing the spot kick.<\/p>\n
Osimhen was also involved in a touchline bust-up with Napoli head coach Rudi Garcia after he was substituted in the final few minutes of the stalemate against Bologna, a result which already leaves last season\u2019s title winners seven points behind Serie A leaders Inter.<\/p>\n
The striker, who had attracted interest from Manchester United and Chelsea in the summer, is said to be angry with Napoli\u2019s post and he has now deleted all pictures related to the Serie A club on his official Instagram account.<\/p>\n
Osimhen\u2019s agent, Roberto Calenda, slammed Napoli\u2019s social media post and has threatened legal action against the Serie A club.<\/p>\n
Napoli\u00e2\u0080\u0099s admin on TikTok trolling Victor Osimhen? Or what\u2019s this nonsense for your own player? <\/p>\n
This is INSANE pic.twitter.com\/QvPluTDbep<\/p>\n
\u2018What happened today on Napoli\u2019s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable,\u2019 Calenda said in a statement on Monday evening.<\/p>\n
\u2018A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted.<\/p>\n
\u2018A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy is suffering in the last period between media trials and fake news.<\/p>\n
\u2018We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor.\u2019<\/p>\n
Napoli are due to play Udinese on Wednesday evening but it remains unclear whether Osimhen, who scored 26 goals in Serie A last season, will play.<\/p>\n
