Napoli striker Giovanni Simeone has particularly praised the team's strengths on the wings, picking out two full-back protagonists he believes are key to the team’s successes.
Napoli tried to get a new left-back in the summer since Mario Rui is up-and-down and Faouzi Ghoulam is often injured. They did not manage to acquire one, but they have not stopped pursuing Reinildo Mandava. They have good chances to sign him either in January or next summer.
Napoli will have two key members of the squad back against Udinese Alex Meret and Mario Rui have been called up after missing time because of injury. The goalkeeper returned sooner than expected. Instead, the fullback sat out the Leicester tilt due to muscle fatigue.
Napoli missed out on their main target for the left-back position. Emerson Palmieri officially joined Olympique Lyonnais on loan from Chelsea yesterday. The Partenopei are looking to bring in another player to compete with Mario Rui, but they might end up standing pat due to lack of funds.
