Not only are they way behind in the race for the top four, but their most expensive signing has turned to be a major flop for them. And by Napoli’s boss Gennaro Gattuso’ admission, there’s no place for Hirving Lozano who has not played in three consecutive games for the club.
The message is pretty clear. The £35million signing from PSV Eindhoven needs to work hard to get into the side, and that he is not in Gattuso’s immediate first-team plans.
Behind the scene, Napoli are reportedly looking to dump him, and this could work in favour of Everton.
