While it might not be as competitive as it once was with the rest of Europe, the Italian Serie A still features some of the best players in the world.
Victor Osimhen recently made an outrageous leap during Napoli’s 3-0 win over Spezia. And this puts him among the players with the highest jumps in the Italian top flight. Let us take a look at the other two players to have set the bar so high.

3. Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Sampdoria : 256 cm
While playing for Juventus in 2019, the legendary number 7 produced a phenomenal jump that saw him stay in the air for a few good seconds, and scoring a crazy header with the Bianconeri.
2. Victor Osimhen vs Spezia: 258 cm
The Napoli centre-forward has been on fire this season, scoring 18 league goals in 19 appearances. He won an aerial battle with goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski to score the second goal of the game, and went on to score a brace in their dominant win away from home.
1. Fikayo Tomori vs. Juventus: 263 cm
AC Milan’s star centre-back scored with a sky-high jump against Juventus in the summer of 2021. The Rossoneri defeated their rivals 3-0 in Serie A, and Tomori has since become one of the mainstays in the heart of their defence.
