Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne is gaining international recognition as Marca points to him as a 'revelation in full splendour'.

The 24-year-old is quite possibly Italy's hottest striker at the moment as his work alongside Gonzalo Higuain is keeping the Partenopei at the top of Serie A.

With the decisive game against Juventus a mere five days from now, Marca identified him alongside Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez as the revelation of the season. The paper identified the pair as “the only two footballers in Europe who notched double figures in goals and in assists alike.

“Not Neymar, nor [Lionel] Messi, nor Cristiano [Ronaldo], nor [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic,” the article continues.

“Insigne and Mahrez are enjoying a dream season that is sustaining their clubs as the surprising leaders of their respective leagues.

“The Neapolitan finally exploded in the ranks of the Partenopei. He had always been considered the club's diamond in the rough, shining only inconsistently and in rare games.

“Now, at the age of 24, under the mentorship of [Coach Maurizio] Sarri and starting from the left in the attack, he has revealed himself in full splendour.”
