“Osimhen is improving visibly and his potential is coming out,” Insigne said while speaking on his teammate of two years.
“Spalletti is enhancing his unique characteristics such as athleticism in the air, progression, and coordination. I’m really happy for Victor, he’s a very good person,” the 31-year-old continued.
Insigne came through the ranks at Napoli and made his first-team debut in 2009 but would officially be part of the team in 2012 after spending three years out on loan.

"I won't be the one to say too much, we've been through too much and I prefer to take refuge in superstition. But I'm the first fan, I follow them from afar and after every game I send my compliments to everyone," Insigne said.
The 31-year-old became captain of Napoli in February 2019 after Marek Hamsik’s departure and was part of the Napoli team that tried and failed to win the Scudetto on multiple occasions.
