Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reserving \u201cthe right to take legal action\u201d against his own club after his team posted a bizarre video to TikTok seemingly mocking the player.<\/p>\n

The odd video comes after Osimhen helped the Italian team secure a first league title, the club\u2019s first in three decades.<\/p>\n

Despite Osimhen singlehandedly bolstering Napoli with 31 goals across all competitions, he became the target of a strange, now-deleted video, shared to the Serie A club\u2019s official TikTok account.<\/p>\n

Osimhen\u2019s agent Roberto Calenda issued a statement on Tuesday night about the incident.<\/p>\n

He wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: \u201cWhat happened today on Napoli\u2019s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable. A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted.<\/p>\n

\u201cA 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calenda added: \u201cWe reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor\u201d.<\/p>\n

The video featured a clip of the striker\u2019s penalty miss from their match against Bologna on Sunday, with an odd, sped-up voice dubbed over the top. While the original was deleted, recorded versions of it appeared on Twitter\/X soon after – while Osimhen himself appears to have deleted every Instagram post on his account which featured a Napoli shirt.<\/p>\n

The strange social media clip comes after there appeared to be tension between Osimhen and Napoli manager Rudi Garcia during the game.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Nigerian striker was seen berating Garcia as he was substituted off with four minutes remaining of the goalless draw.<\/p>\n

The bizarre social media scrap comes after Osimhen, who captured the interest of Manchester United this summer, did not sign a new contract with the Italian team.<\/p>\n

Osimhen\u2019s current deal runs through to the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n
