Lorenzo Insigne is one of the best wingers in the Serie A at the moment. Playing his 11th campaign in the competition, the diminutive 30-year-old has racked up over 300 appearances, scoring 86 goals and providing 65 assists.

The Euro 2020 winner with Italy is coming off his best Serie A campaign in 2020-21, tallying 26 goal contributions (19 goals, seven assists), even as Napoli narrowly missed out on a top-four finish on the last day of the season.

One of seven players to have scored 100 goals for the club, Lorenzo Insigne (110) is Napoli's fourth-most prolific scorer, 25 behind all-time top scorer Dries Mertens.


#5 Federico Chiesa

Federico Chiesa is one of the most exciting young wingers in the game. Only 23, the Euro 2020 winner has already appeared in more than 150 Serie A games, scoring 34 goals and assisting on 31 occasions.

On loan from Fiorentina, Chiesa was one of Juventus' best players during an underwhelming 2020-21 campaign, when their near decade-long Serie A stranglehold came to an end.

The diminutive winger will look to build on his exploits from the last campaign as Massimiliano Allegri's men seek to reassert their Serie A supremacy.

Chiesa also dazzled at Euro 2020, scoring in the Round-of-16 win against Austria and the semi-final against Spain, which Italy won in a shootout.


#4 Franck Kessie

Franck Kessie is one of the best goalscoring midfielders in the Italian top flight. He has scored 35 times in over 170 Serie A appearances with 21 of those strikes coming from the penalty spot.

Last season, the 24-year-old became the first Milan player in a decade to score more than ten penalties (11) in a Serie A campaign since a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovich.

Apart from his penalty-taking prowess, Kessie is a solid presence in the Milan midfield. He keeps the opposition's creative players in check and initiates the first line of press for his team. A quintessential box-to-box midfielder, Kessie acts as an additional centre-back when his team loses possession.

Despite being the subject of interest from the Premier League, the Ivorian recently admitted that he would like to end his career with the Serie A giants, saying:

"I am proud to have chosen Milan and it is not my intention to leave. On the contrary, I want to stay forever. I only want Milan; Maldini and Massara know my thoughts. I like it so much when the ultras sing: 'A President, there is only a President ... '. Well, I want to be for life."
