It is no secret that Napoli are trying to upgrade at the right-wing position. Looking at this Napoli team, there are very few weaknesses but the right wing is certainly a spot where they can upgrade. Last season’s Italian Champions scored over 100 goals in all competitions, however, Hirving Lozano and Matteo Politano combined for only 8 goals and 8 assists. When Napoli signed Lozano for €40 million in 2019, he came in as a goal-scoring winger having scored 17 league goals each of the previous two seasons.  

In 120 league games at Napoli, Lozano has only registered 23 goals and 12 assists. A very underwhelming return for a player that came in with such high expectations on extremely high wages. But with only a year left on his current contract, it feels almost certain that Napoli will cut ties and move on. Reports coming out of Naples seem very clear, Lozano renews taking a substantial pay cut or he leaves this summer and the latter seems the likeliest outcome  

Napoli will look to replace him with a player that can add to the firepower of Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, here are 3 players that Napoli should consider who could take them to the next level:

Nicolas Pepe
