The 20-year-old striker beat the likes of Monaco forward Islam Slimani and Nantes defender Nicolas Pallois to win the award. The Nigeria international has been impressive for Lille since he joined in the summer from Belgian club side Sporting Charleroi.
Victor Osimhen has scored eight goals in all competitions for Lille so far this season. Osimhen has scored seven league goals in nine games for the Great Danes this season with one in the Champions League which came against Chelsea.
