Rafa Benitez has affirmed that Lorenzo Insigne remains a ‘very important’ cog in his Napoli team.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Serie A clash with Roma, Benitez insists the attacker still has plenty to offer Napoli.
“I don’t like to talk about the individual, but Lorenzo works hard for the team,” Benitez said at his Press conference.
“We saw this in Bergamo and for us, he can make the difference.
“He has the ability to work in defensive phases and coolly get himself in front of a goalkeeper.
“He also has the ability to play the ball with his teammates and dribble past opponents. For us, he is very important, like [Jose] Callejon, [Dries] Mertens and [Jonathan] de Guzman.”
