Footage emerged on Sunday showing Osimhen climbing up the seats towards the young fan, before giving her a heartfelt hug. As he made his way back to continue his warm-up, the Nigerian struggled to exit the crowd, with footage showing fans holding on to the striker by the arm.
Victor Osimhen unintentionally hit a girl during the warm up for #SpeziaNapoli and went up into the Spezia stand to apologize to her. What a guy.

One opportunistic supporter leaned in to talk to Osimhen as he climbed over the advertising board.
Osimhen has been in exceptional goal-scoring form so far this season, netting 14 league goals in 16 appearances.
Ahead of Napoli’s clash against Spezia on Sunday, the Italian giants had carved out a 13-point lead at the summit of Serie A.
Osimhen has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer, with Erik ten Hag’s side eager to recruit a striker following the acrimonious exit from Old Trafford last year.
The Red Devils will have to pay at least £90million if they are to sign the Napoli striker, according to reports.
Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille in 2020 for £62.4m, with 43 goals in 82 appearances across all competitions since.
His contract with Luciano Spalletti’s side expires in 2025 and talks over a new deal are thought to not have taken place yet.
