3. Lorenzo Insigne – Napoli – 22 years old
Insigne’s progress suffered a setback last year, with his playing time limited under Walter Mazzarri. However, following the arrival of Rafa Benitez, the Spaniard has made it clear that the young Italian will be handed an integral role in the upcoming campaign, as reported by Football Italia.
With Edinson Cavani departing for PSG, Gonzalo Higuain will be handed the enviable task of replacing his presence as the focal point of Napoli’s attacking threat. However, it is likely that Insigne will also benefit from the Uruguayan’s exit, and the local hero will hope to make the most of the opportunity.
Primarily deployed on the left wing, Insigne’s craft and skill is enough to excite any of those in attendance at the San Paolo. The biggest task both he and Benitez will now face is how to add consistency to his game thus allowing him to enjoy a break-out year.
