According to a recent report by the Metro, Liverpool are the frontrunners to secure the services of Napoli winger Lorenzo Insigne if he is made available for a transfer during the summer window. However, the same source also mentions that the Reds will face stiff competition from Paris Saint-Germain in pursuit of the Serie A talent. Furthermore, the Metro also suggests that the Italian prospect will prefer a move to Chelsea as he wants to be reunited with his former boss Maurizio Sarri.
The Rapid Rise Of Lorenzo Insigne
Insigne came through the youth ranks of Napoli and had loan spells at Cavese, Foggia and Pescara before finally managing to establish himself as a regular first-team starter at the San Paolo Stadium.
The Italian sensation has enjoyed another productive campaign at the Naples club after putting in a string of match-winning displays during this season. He has featured in 38 matches of Carlo Ancelotti’s side this term, scoring 13 goals while providing seven assists across all competitions.
The Serie A wing wizard is also moderately experienced at the international level having represented Italy in 30 matches while registering four goals for his nation thus far. The 27-year-old is currently playing at his peak so Liverpool would greatly benefit from acquiring his talents this summer.
What Will The Italian Bring To The Red Half Of Merseyside?
Insigne boasts blistering pace and is a very penetrative dribbler with the ball at his feet. He can also link up play well with his teammates without losing possession in the opposition half. Moreover, the Italian talent can also be a lethal finisher inside the opposition penalty box which makes such an invaluable asset for Napoli.
The addition of a player of Insigne’s calibre will undoubtedly bolster Jurgen Klopp’s attacking options at the Merseyside club. The Reds need to make some quality acquisitions in this off-season so that they have a strong squad capable of challenging on all fronts next season.
Should The Reds Move In For Him?
Insigne has all the attributes to be successful in the Premier League. Hence, the Merseyside outfit should do everything in their power to convince the Italian winger to join forces at Anfield rather than at Stamford Bridge.
