Napoli Continue to Be Keen on a Pair of Speed Demons

Napoli had a few right wingbacks on their radar late in the summer and are still interested even though they have changed their tactical plan, switching from 3-5-2 to 4-3-3. Giovanni Di Lorenzo moved from ‘braccetto’ to right-back and has dominated the minutes at the position. Pasquale Mazzocchi is the only alternative.

According to OneFootball, the Azzurri continue to monitor their previous targets Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe and Jackson Tchatchoua. The Eintracht Frankfurt start has scored twice and provided an assist in five seasonal appearances. He has hit the net on 15 occasions and set up 7 teammates in 78 matches with the German team.

Napoli tabled a late bid for the Verona man, but the counterparty resisted as they believed he’d continue to grow. They have been proven correct as he’s been one of their dynamic and consistent contributors so far. He has made the stat sheet twice through a goal and an assist.

On the other hand, Tchatchoua is being tracked by several teams. The Scaligeri are eager to stoke a bidding war, Nicolò Schira reports.

Our Take on the Napoli Flank

It’s not a major priority following the schematic switch, even though they could do always improve their deputy. They don’t have many holes in their 4-3-3, but they could always upgrade some roles, for instance, the left-back one, where Mathias Olivera is seesawing and Leonardo Spinazzola was signed for another tactic. They spent a lot in the summer, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they kept their powders dry in the winter.
