Former Napoli marksman Roberto ‘El Pampa’ Sosa has revealed an Argentine prospect who, according to him, could become the next Dries Mertens. The Partenopei’s all-time goalscorer in Serie A, joined Galatasaray on a free transfer before the start of the current season, but Napoli’s transfer arrivals have exceeded expectations in the south of Italy.
In a recent interview (via Calciomercato), Sosa alerted European clubs of Gimnasia La Plata forward Benjamin Dominguez.
“Who I want to point out is Benjamin Dominguez, a short and very technical attacking winger, somewhat reminiscent of Mertens.”
Sosa also graduated from Gimnasia, before moving to Serie A in 1998 with Udinese.
“Born in 2003, he plays in “my” Gimnasia , tomorrow he will be the starter in the derby against Estudiantes, the man jumps well, he is very good at one-on-one. In my opinion, whoever takes him now gets a bargain, you take him and keep him there for another couple of years, now it’s cheap. Then don’t say I didn’t tell you.”
19-year-old Benjamin Dominguez has been praised for his versatility, capable of starring on either wings, in addition to function as a second striker.
