“Higuain who?” is what Napoli fans will want to shout in your face after Arek Milik’s recent goalscoring exploits. He’s hit the ground running in Naples, and already has 6 goals in 5 games in all competitions.

The Poland striker had a decent time at Euro 2016 and has been one of most promising forwards in Europe for a while but even the players biggest admirers wouldn’t have imagined he would make such a blistering start.

He’s making scoring goals look remarkably easy at the moment, even though his manager Maurizio Sarri is trying his best to underplay his form and ask everyone to give him time to reach his peak.

What has to also be admired is the way Sarri gets this Napoli team to play, with runners from midfield and the wing, and his side making sure to create multiple goalscoring chances during the course of a match. It’s been a delight to watch so far.
