The Nigeria international, who joined Lille this summer from Sporting Charleroi, won 45% of the vote to place first ahead of Monaco's Islam Slimani (37%) and Nantes' Nicolas Pallois (18%).
Osimhen takes over from Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga who won the award in August.

With 7 goals in 9 appearances in the Ligue 1, Osimhen is the fourth highest goalscorer in the top five European Leagues, behind Bayern Munich's Lewandowski (11 goals), Manchester City's Aguero and Chelsea's Abraham (both with 8 goals).
