New Napoli signing Lorenzo Lucca praises Romelu Lukaku as ‘one of the best strikers in Serie A’, revealing he seeks advice from the Belgian forward.
Lorenzo Lucca, Napoli’s new signing, has heaped praise on his teammate Romelu Lukaku, describing him as “one of the best strikers in Serie A”.
Lucca, who joined Napoli earlier this month from Udinese, says he often seeks advice from Lukaku, eager to learn from the experienced Belgian forward. The 24-year-old Italian striker is clearly impressed by Lukaku’s ability and is looking to tap into his expertise.
Lucca’s comments come after he scored his first goal for Napoli in a pre-season friendly against Catanzaro. The Italian forward converted a penalty kick to double Napoli’s lead, and he was thrilled to secure the team’s first win in preseason. According to Lucca, scoring was great, but the win was even more important.
The new Napoli signing has settled in well at the club, praising the special atmosphere and the tight-knit group of players.
Lucca jokes that everyone made him feel welcome, and he has a special bond with defender Alessandro Buongiorno, whom he’s known for a long time. The group dynamic at Napoli is clearly strong, with everyone working together with great dedication.
Lucca’s move to Napoli is a significant step in his career, and he’s eager to make a big impact. With 12 goals and two assists in 33 Serie A matches for Udinese last season, Lucca has shown his scoring ability. His debut for the Italian national team in October 2024 was a highlight of his career, and he’s since played five times for the Azzurri.
The 24-year-old forward is looking forward to working with Napoli’s defenders, who he says push him to give his best. Lucca believes that this competitive environment will help him grow as a player. He’s already impressed by the team’s unity and dedication, which he thinks will be crucial to their success this season.
The Italian forward’s first goal for Napoli was a positive sign, and he’s looking forward to scoring more goals in the season ahead.
