Dries Mertens assures he’s “learning every day” how to play as a striker, and warns “it won’t be easy” for Napoli against Dynamo Kiev.
Arkadiusz Milik and Manolo Gabbiadini are both injured, meaning the Partenopei don’t have a recognised striker.
That has seen the winger fill in as a false-nine, a role the Belgian international is expected to occupy in tomorrow night’s Champions League match.
“Let’s see who will play,” Martens shrugged in the pre-match Press conference.

“Let’s see who will play,” Martens shrugged in the pre-match Press conference.
“If I play I’ll do my job, I’m doing well in the Champions League now. We know it’s difficult for strikers in Italy, maybe it’s easier in Europe.
“I feel good, I’m playing a lot. I’m doing my job as a striker and I’m learning every day.”
Maurizio Sarri’s men won the away fixture in Ukraine, but Martens warns Kiev will be a tough proposition tomorrow.
“We won there, so everyone expects us to win at home. It won’t be easy though. They play very well away from home, but we want to win.”
