Emanuele Giaccherini’s agent says his client won’t deputise for Faouzi Ghoulam at Napoli – “I see him more as a false-nine”.
The Italian international is known for his versatility, and has played at wing-back previously in his career.
With Faouzi Ghoulam out for at least three months with a cruciate ligament injury, it has been suggested the former Juventus man could deputise, but his representative envisions a different role.
“Napoli are lucky to have Mario Rui,” Furio Valcareggi said on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.

“Napoli are lucky to have Mario Rui,” Furio Valcareggi said on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“Like Giaccherini and [Marko] Rog, it’s a luxury to have him on the bench. Giaccherini doesn’t have the pace to play at full-back, I see him more as a false-nine because he’s someone who can really crack it from 16 metres.”
