Cassano highlights four reasons why Napoli should sign Lookman

Former Real Madrid forward Antonio Cassano has urged Serie A champions Napoli to sign Nigeria's Ademola Lookman this summer.

The former Italian striker believes the reigning African Footballer of the Year will be a perfect replacement for Kvaratskhelia, who left the club to join Paris Saint-Germain in January.

Cassano, in an interview with Twitch with Viva El Futbol, described the Super Eagles star as a sensational signing for Antonio Conte's side.

“I would go and get Lookman, it would be a sensational purchase, Cassano said.

“He runs, scores, makes assists, and is trained by a great player like Gian Piero Gasperini.”

Lookman had a stellar campaign with Gian Piero Gasperini's side last season, scoring 20 goals and providing seven assists.

The 27-year-old has two years left on his contract with La Dea.
