Cassano Urges Napoli to Sign Ademola Lookman as Kvaratskhelia Replacement
Former Real Madrid and Italy striker Antonio Cassano has thrown his weight behind a potential move for Ademola Lookman to Napoli, labeling the Nigerian forward a “sensational purchase” as the club seeks a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Speaking via Tifo Juventus on Twitch, Cassano praised Lookman's all-around attacking qualities, saying:
🗣️ “I would go and get Lookman, it would be a sensational purchase. He runs, scores, makes assists, and is trained by a great player like Gian Piero Gasperini.”
🔍 Why Lookman Makes Sense for Napoli:
Pace, precision, and end product – Lookman is coming off a phenomenal season at Atalanta, including a historic Europa League final hat-trick.
Versatility – He can play across the front three, a tactical dream for new Napoli boss Antonio Conte.
Big-game mentality – His ability to step up under pressure is exactly what Napoli needs post-Kvara.
🦅 Africa’s Finest Shining in Europe
Recently crowned African Footballer of the Year, Lookman continues to attract interest across Europe, with Arsenal also keeping close tabs on the 26-year-old.
But if Napoli want to reassert themselves in Serie A and Europe, signing Lookman now could be a game-changing move.
💬 Opinion: From Bergamo to Naples? A Natural Step Up
Lookman has proven he's no longer just a ‘promising winger’ — he’s now a fully matured, consistent match-winner. Under Conte’s demanding system, his tireless work ethic, pressing ability, and direct style would fit like a glove.
Replacing Kvaratskhelia won’t be easy, but Lookman isn’t just a substitute — he could become the new face of Napoli’s next attacking era.
