Lorenzo Insigne is an Italian professional soccer player known for being an important component of Napoli‘s team. He first flourished under Rafa Benitez and then, under Maurizio Sarri, he took his game to the next level. He was particularly in super form in the 2016-17 season as he scored 18 goals in 37 matches. His ability to cut in from the left side and curl the shot in the far post makes him a dangerous prospect to defend against. His explosive and entertaining style has even attracted comparison with Napoli‘s legend Diego Maradona.
