Lorenzo Insigne Napoli

During an Italian Youth League match between Napoli and Lazio t the end of 2009, Cavese 1919 football executive Giuseppe Pavone discovered Insigne and decided to contact Napoli asking him for a loan until the end of season. Hence, in february 2010 Insigne played his first match in Italian Professional League Lega Pro Prima Divisione, with Cavese 1919.

In 2010, he was sold to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Foggia in a co-ownership deal with Napoli during which time, he scored 19 goals under the tenure of Czech coach Zdeněk Zeman. On 8 July 2011, Insigne agreed to re-join Zeman, accepting a one-year loan to Serie B club Pescara. He scored 18 goals in the league himself as the club’s second-highest goalscorer, also providing 14 assists that season, heavily contributing to the team’s success. Due to its victory in Serie B, Pescara was promoted to Serie A with Zeman’s ultra-attacking style of football.

Insigne’s performances at Pescara enticed his parent club Napoli to bring him back to his hometown club for the 2012–13 season, where he was considered to be a long-term replacement for the recently departed Ezequiel Lavezzi. He scored his first Serie A goal with Napoli on 16 September 2012 in a 3–1 home win over Parma. Throughout the season, he made 43 appearances, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. The competition for places with players like Edinson Cavani, Goran Pandev, Eduardo Vargas and Omar El Kaddouri meant Insigne often started matches on the substitutes’ bench.

The following season, Insigne made his UEFA Champions League debut in 2–1 home win over the previous season’s finalists Borussia Dortmund, on 18 September 2013. Insigne marked his debut in the competition with a goal from a free-kick. In the final of the Coppa Italia on 3 May 2014, Insigne scored twice in the first half as his side won 3–1 against Fiorentina.

During the 2014-15 season, on 9 November 2014, the Napoli star picked an injury of the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee that saw him off the pitch till 4 April 2015, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 away defeat to Roma. In his next league match, on 26 April, he scored a goal in a 4–2 home win over Sampdoria, also wearing the captain’s armband during the match, in the absence of teammates Marek Hamšík, Christian Maggio and Gökhan Inler.

He began his 2015-16 Serie A season on 13 September by scoring in a 2–2 draw against Empoli. On 26 September, Insigne made his 100th Serie A appearance with Napoli and scored his third goal of the season in a 2–1 home win over defending Serie A champions Juventus, although he was also later forced off the pitch after sustaining an injury during the match. He continued his goalscoring run in the following match, scoring twice and setting up Allan’s goal in a 4–0 away win over Milan, bringing his seasonal tally to five goals in seven games. Insigne’s prolific performances even led to comparisons with former Napoli legend Diego Maradona, which Insigne played down.

In April 2017, Insigne scored his third brace in four appearances for Napoli to take his tally to 14 goals for the Serie A season, surpassing his previous personal best for a single campaign. On 14 October 2017, Insigne scored his 100th career club goal in a 1–0 away win over rivals Roma in Serie A.
