Is he any good? His stats are pretty average

Heard that he's good, but never seen him play, and we need to consider the fact he's 5"5, which isn't exactly the ideal height for a forward in the Prem.

Is he not a car?

One to keep an eye on during the world cup

He is technically astounding but very very small. Very similar to Cazorla actually so I doubt we'll sign him. He is faster than Cazorla, though

He is more of a striker than Cazorla though. Wenger rates him very highly. I can see this happening and I think its an exciting signing if true.

Every time I have seen him play, he was most dangerous Napoli player by far. Every attack came through him and I was pretty impressed. He is very small but technically strong. He is also quite fast and has a nice shot on him. I for one would love to see him here...

I've never seen Insigne playing in a ST role or even false 9. He's pretty much a winger as far as I know. He is more forward-like than Cazorla, yes, but has very similar qualities to Santi.

We did this a few weeks ago. Exactly what I don't want out wide - talented player but we need pace, power, goals out there.

He has amazing pace, and is very skilful. Not enough goals yet but it could be a part of his game which improves.

I personally think with the set of wingers we have, there is a need for a player who can produce some magic against a defence sitting deep. Similar to what Gervinho could do for us running at defenders. Insigne could possibly be this player.

Gervinho was utter ****. The wide roles are crying out for a Reus type player who is more well-rounded unlike Poldi, Santi(for that role), even Theo to an extent who is always on the fringe of the game waiting to get released into space.

I do agree in general. I just think he plays more like a wide forward than a wide midfielder like Cazorla though. His technical capabilities and pace may make him suitable for a forward position too. Not sure his finishing is good enough for that though. In any case, He is a quality player I think. for 18million, we can do worse business.

I'm a bit wary of him and most of these special Italian inside forward players that are bigged up over the years and seriously underwhelm.

Apart from his height he is the type of a player we lack.
Inisgne, Muniain... we need something like that. Its hard to find players who are as skillful and unpredictable like them yet tall and strong

Watching some of the videos he reminds me of an opposite sided Lamela...

Great at free kicks but is very small, apparently 5'4 which is ridiculous! Like Tir Na Nog above I'd be wary of his player type but I'd extend it to most Serie A players with the obvious exceptions. De Rossi, Pogba, Balotelli etc. etc.

he is from Napoli and love the club can't see Napoli sell him.

if we need a good winger from Italy then we should try to sign Alessio Cerci good pace good finisher good passer too 12 goals 13 assists this season 8 goals 12 assists last season.
