Romelu Lukaku has been in terrible form for Napoli this season after securing a return to Italian football as a replacement for Victor Osimhen.
After their successful time together at Inter Milan, Antonio Conte was eager to be reunited with the Belgian and did not consider signing another striker.
However, Lukaku has not been as good as the Partenopei dreamed he would be, and the fans are beginning to ask questions.
Napoli still leads the Serie A standings, but if Lukaku scored enough goals, they would have a larger points advantage.
The Partenopei faces Inter Milan this weekend and could potentially be kicked off the top of the standings.
Goals have been a problem, and Lukaku has scored just four times in his first nine games for the league leaders.
Napoli needs more from a player who replaced Osimhen, and pundit Fabio Caressa says even Conte would be surprised at how poor Lukaku has been so far.
What did Fabio Caressa say about Lukaku?
“Lukaku? He has to improve, even Conte is a bit surprised by this Lukaku. He is not the one he left at Inter, but then again, the years pass for everyone”. He said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb.
What Entro Napoli Thinks
We all expected more from Lukaku this season; it is sad that he has been as poor as he has been. But there is still time for him to get back to scoring regularly.
