Some of the heroes behind Napoli's wonderful performances

#2 Dries Mertens

Dries Mertens has adapted well to the striker's role following Arkadiusz Milik's injury

When Napoli was struggling in the final third, Dries Mertens came as the Messiah. The attacking midfielder cum winger turned into a full-time striker. And he is revelling in that role as well. Having already smashed 13 goals and 6 assists, he is a top contender for the Serie A player of the year award.

His formidable partnership with Lorenzo Insigne and Jose Callejon have enabled the trio to play like their minds are interconnected, ripping apart every defence they come across.
