#2 Lorenzo Insigne (Napoli)

SSC Napoli v US Sassuolo - Serie A
Insigne has been one of Europe's most creative players this season

The Napoli playmaker-cum winger is diminutive- literally standing at only 5'4" tall and a lightweight at 59 kg. That has stopped him from being absolutely awesome.

Insigne has consistently been one of Napoli's best players for over two seasons. He has often gone under the radar and unless one is a keen observer of the Italian league or a deep observer of the game, Insigne rarely pops out as a big name.

Statistics indicate that Insigne at 25, is the perfect player to replace Mesut Özil. One of the most influential players in the Napoli squad, he will not come cheap but he is in fact ranked higher in terms of chances created over the likes of Kevin de Bruyne and Özil himself.

Insigne's style of play suits the attacking fluid football Arsene Wenger ideally likes to employ in his sides. He is in many ways a like for like replacement for Ozil and also possesses a decent goal threat.

The Italian international could be one of the best signings Arsenal make if they convince him to sign the dotted line.

His only weakness is his physicality and a concern whether he could match up to the demanding English game.

He has survived in Italy though and Italy has a reputation for being tough to operate in,even if it does harbour a slightly slower style of football.
