Victor Osimhen completely blanked his Napoli teammates upon arriving at the club's team hotel ahead of their Serie A game amid the social media insults.

The star forward's agent has threatened to take legal action against Napoli after they bizarrely mocked their own player on social media.

The posts, which were shared on TikTok, have since been deleted as Osimhen waits for an apology.

He's deleted nearly every single Napoli-related post from his Instagram in wake of the brutal online taunts.

Despite the uproar caused by Gli Azzurri, the 24-year-old has been included in their squad for tonight's home game against Udinese.

Ahead of potentially leading the line at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Osimhen is still in an angry mood.

That's judging by a video that has surfaced online which shows the Nigerian blanking his teammates as he enters the club's team hotel.

The clip shows Osimhen shaking team manager Giuseppe Santoro's hand before ruthlessly ignoring Diego Demme and Piotr Zielinski.

Demme holds his hand out for a handshake but is blanked by Osimhen, who walks past his teammates and into the hotel.

On the legal action against Napoli, his agent Roberto Calenda said: "We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor.

"What happened today on Napoli's official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable.

"A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted," he added.

"A 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."

Osimhen, who has scored three goals in six appearances this season, has since been linked with a move to Manchester United and Arsenal.
