Footage of Napoli's Victor Osimhen on holiday shows just how incredible elite-level footballers really are

Napoli's Victor Osimhen showed just how high the level is in professional football when playing against regular people.

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has reminded everyone just how incredible the level is in professional football when he played against a load of average Joes on holiday.

The 24-year-old is one of the most lethal strikers in the world today, having fired Napoli to a first Serie A title in 33 years with 26 goals.

Osimhen picked up the Golden Boot and also scored the goal that sealed the Scudetto against Udinese in May.

The former Lille man has been linked with a number of European giants, including the likes of Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

It's been reported that Napoli wouldn't sell their record signing for £150 million and fans were able to see just how high the standard is in top-level football in a recent video of Osimhen.

Before he links up for pre-season, Osimhen has been back home in his native Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, and spent time with his childhood friends.

He's also been keeping himself busy by playing five-a-side with regular people and absolutely running the show. In one clip, Osimhen just decides he's going to do it all by himself and juggles the ball past about three players in outrageous fashion.

The touch and close control is way above those he was playing with and the passage of play is extremely impressive even if he didn't find the net with his finish.

Also in the game, Osimhen scored a sensational first-time, no-look chipped finish that made the goalkeeper look like a right fool.

His heroics caused one fan to write: "And that right there is the difference between a professional footballer and a regular human."

Fans might not rate a player and label them "rubbish" but the reality is even someone from League Two would be levels above in a Sunday League or Powerleague fixture.
