him from shooting a charity video for Africa&#8217;&#8230; and he &#8216;remains upset that the club have not publicly apologised for their social media antics&#8217;<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Victor Osimhen was left furious after Napoli mocked him on TikTok<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>He was already angry with them for not letting him shoot a charity video\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mail Sport&#8217;s new WhatsApp Channel: Get the breaking news and exclusives here<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Victor Osimhen was already unhappy at Napoli before they mocked him on social media, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p>Napoli&#8217;s official TikTok account posted two separate videos appearing to mock their star striker earlier this week, with one poking fun at him after he missed a penalty in their 0-0 draw with Bologna on Saturday, while the other contained a clip of Osimhen being referred to as a &#8216;coconut&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Osimhen was furious with the videos, which were later deleted, and his agent Roberto Calenda warned that his client could take legal action against the club.<\/p>\n<p>It now seems the TikTok videos could just be the latest issue to test the relationship between Osimhen and Napoli, as the Nigerian forward was already annoyed that the Serie A giants stopped him from filming a charity video for Africa, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.<\/p>\n<p>Osimhen received a private apology from Napoli directors on Wednesday for the club&#8217;s behaviour on social media, but he is upset that they did not also make a public apology, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

of a public apology, Osimhen still made himself available for Napoli&#8217;s league clash with Udinese on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>He started the match at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium and scored the second goal in a 4-1 win, although he refused to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>It was Osimhen&#8217;s fourth goal of the season, but came following a difficult few days for the 24-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>Osimhen is understood to have a strained relationship with manager Rudi Garcia, and was furious when he was substituted in the goalless draw at Bologna when Napoli were chasing a winner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/28\/13\/75935245-12570907-image-m-39_1695903053503.jpg\" height=\"467\"

in a Napoli shirt\u00a0from his Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>His relationship with the Serie A outfit has soured quickly after he led the team to their first Scudetto in 33 years just four months ago.<\/p>\n<p>He rejected the advances of multiple clubs over the summer to stay at Napoli, but now feels betrayed after recent events.<\/p>\n<p>He is still adored by the club&#8217;s fanbase, but it appears that a series of incidents are now testing his loyalty and whether he has a long-term future at Napoli.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking
