Romelu Lukaku has done well to grab the place of Victor Osimhen at Napoli, according to a top Italian football commentator.
On Saturday night, Napoli consolidated their leadership of the Italian Serie A on the back of a 3-2 win at fellow title chasers Atalanta.

“They pushed the team to a sixth straight victory.”
