Arturo Di Napoli has recommended Romelu Lukaku as the perfect attacker for Napoli, stating that he is suitable for Conte’s tactical system than Victor Osimhen.
The former Napoli and Inter Milan striker stressed that Lukaku loves the idea of playing under Conte and stressed that this tandem has always been an impact for the team.
Di Napoli went on to say that ‘Lukaku is an individual that opens space, finds ways of putting the ball in the net, and enables others to contribute.
In comparison to Osimhen, he enjoys a more comfortable position as he takes a more collective role.
It is less likely that Lukaku will score most of the goals, and in the long run, the team will achieve a better result.

After a tense fallout with Napoli, Victor Osimhen moved to Galatasaray on loan, with Lukaku stepping in as his replacement.
Notably, both liberations have performed very well within their affiliated leagues.
While Osimhen continues to add goals to his game, Lukaku’s adaptability has suited Conte’s style, enabling a more cohesive team performance.
According to Tutto Napoli, the former Napoli forward stated, “For Conte’s balance, he is fundamental. It is no coincidence that when the two are on the same team, they perform at their best. Lukaku is a player who creates a department, scores goals, gives breathing space, and scores many goals. He is clearly different from Osimhen. At this moment we need to think about Lukaku, who, compared to Osimhen, is more of a team player, scores fewer goals but scoress more”
