Napoli’s key men in Serie A title triumph

Date:

Napoli secured their fourth Serie A title, and second in three seasons, under coach Antonio Conte in his first season at the club. Several players were crucial to their success.

Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku reinvented himself this season, evolving from a traditional goal-scorer to a more versatile attacker who links play expertly. Lukaku scored 14 league goals and provided 10 assists, helping ease the loss of star striker Victor Osimhen, who left on loan to Galatasaray.

Scott McTominay was Napoli’s surprise star after joining from Manchester United on deadline day. He adapted quickly to life in Naples and Serie A, scoring 12 goals — the best league tally of his career. His energetic performances made him a fan favorite.

Giacomo Raspadori, often a substitute, proved vital during the title run-in, especially after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s January departure. Since mid-February, the Italy international scored five goals in eight starts and contributed crucial assists.

Cameroon midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa was a symbol of Napoli’s turnaround after last season’s slump. He scored six goals — a career best for a single season — including an important strike against Juventus, and added four assists while playing nearly every match.
