Unauthorised Osimhen doll; Napoli threatens legal action against toy store

Serie A champion, Napoli, have declared that they will take legal action against an Italian toy store over the release of an unauthorized doll of Victor Osimhen.
The club made it known in a statement on Thursday evening that neither them nor Osimhen authorized the doll.
Napoli claimed the unlicensed doll bears a strange resemblance to Victor Osimhen which has made it viral on social media.
The club also stated that it is a breach of the player’s image rights and therefore will sue the company over the release.
A part of the official statement reads: “We’re denying any report on the Italian media about releasing kids’ toy
‘Cicciobello Bomber’ inspired by Victor Osimhen in a Napoli shirt.
“That product was not authorized by the club — we will settle this issue in court”.
The doll’s resemblance with Osimhen made it go viral on social media.
The strange doll also features a protective mask with Osimhen’s jersey number ‘9’ on it, as well as a light blue jersey and a blond tuft of curly hair.
The news comes at a time when the future of the Nigerian striker at the club is in huge doubt after the recent controversy over the now-deleted sarcastic TikTok videos uploaded on the club’s social account.
