  • Napoli fans should worry as Insigne has flattered to deceive

    Napoli fans should worry as Insigne has flattered to deceive

    Napoli's recent loss to AS Roma didn't just confirm that the Giallorossi are serious contenders this year, and that certain in-house problems are overblown.

    The 3-1 win at the San Paolo also exposed some uncomfortable home truths to Partenopei fans, from Arkadiusz Milik's absence and Gonzalo Higuain's departure to Manolo Gabbiadini's inability to morph into a top-tier striker.

    Another sore spot? Lorenzo Insigne's inability to replicate the explosive form we saw early last season. 

    Though he has four assists so far, the 25-year-old has yet to score in league play so far, a worrying sign if you consider that he managed 12 strikes last season. 

    Could it owe something to the Italian's timeshare with Dries Mertens, or his stalled contract negotiations with the club?

    Either way, the Fuorigrotta native isn't the man who dismantled AC Milan last year. We're dying to see that player again.
