Antonio Cassano urges Napoli to act quickly to sign Ademola Lookman, who is currently being targeted by the Italian club as the ideal successor to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The former Real Madrid striker backs the Nigerian's profile to bolster Napoli's attacking line.

Antonio Cassano expressed his excitement at the prospect of Napoli bringing in Ademola Lookman to fill the void left by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who departed for Paris Saint-Germain. The former Italian international highlighted the African Ballon d'Or winner's attacking prowess on the pitch and his Serie A experience with Atalanta.

"Signing Lookman Ademola would be a sensational move. He runs, he scores, he provides assists, and he's coached by a great manager like Gian Piero Gasperini," said Antonio Cassano. Meanwhile, several European clubs are also closely monitoring Lookman's situation, with Spanish side Atlético Madrid reportedly entering discreet discussions with the player's representatives.
