Sosa's comments on Radio Marte
According to Areanapoli, Roberto Sosa made his comments on Radio Marte.
Criticism of Lorenzo Lucca
Roberto Sosa (former Napoli striker) said: "How is he going to improve competing with Lucca? Maybe Lorenzo can improve that way, but not him. Lucca to Lecce? He’d struggle to be a starter there too."
Competition for Højlund
Roberto Sosa (former Napoli striker) said: "Højlund can’t play every game. If you want the Dane to improve, you have to put him up against someone strong in training during the week."
Roberto Sosa (former Napoli striker) said: "I like Højlund, but are you really convinced he can score eight to 10 goals in the next few games?"
Rasmus Højlund missed a great chance from two yards in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Lazio.
Recommendation of Gustavo Varela
Roberto Sosa (former Napoli striker) said: "Would Monza’s Gustavo Varela be the right signing in January? It’s easy to say yes."
Roberto Sosa (former Napoli striker) said: "Varela could be a useful signing to increase the competition up front and raise Rasmus’ level."
Gustavo Varela leads Serie A with nine goals.
Gustavo Varela has just earned his first Portugal call-up.
Napoli have already contacted the representatives of Gustavo Varela.
Lorenzo Lucca is expected to leave Napoli on loan.
