Press reports revealed that the Italian club Napoli wants to sign Roma's distinguished Ukrainian striker, Artem Dovbyk.

Why is Napoli so keen to sign the Ukrainian?

Napoli's main striker, Belgian Romero Lukaku, directly contributed to the club's deserved Serie A title win last season, thanks to his goals and outstanding performance.

However, the player has currently suffered an injury and it appears that it will be a long-term injury, so Napoli will clearly need a clear replacement for the Belgian, and the only alternative is Artem Dovbyk, who has clearly suffered a decline in performance under the new coach.

The source also reports that alongside Dovbyk, Napoli are keeping tabs on several other candidates: Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace, Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United, and Nikola Krstovic from Lecce.

Last season, Artem Dovbyk made 44 appearances for Roma and scored 17 goals. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is €30 million, and his current contract with the club runs until 2029.
