Arkadiusz Milik claims “I want it all” with Napoli next season as the striker prepares for his second campaign at the San Paolo.
Milik joined Napoli from Ajax for €32m last summer and scored seven goals in in his first eight appearances for the club, until an ACL injury with Poland just two months into the season was followed by the 23-year-old losing his status as the Partenopei’s first-choice striker to Dries Mertens.

“Stadion Narodowy, October 8, 2016 [place and date of his injury]? What? I’ve forgot,” he told Corriere dello Sport.
“[When reminded of his injury], it was tough, very tough. But it’s passed.
“I’ve become a stronger person and it made me closer to my family, partner and friends. It was an experience.
“I can’t wait to start the new season: I’ve already lost too much time, but I want to bounce back on all fronts. I want it all.
“Mertens or I Napoli’s first-choice striker? I don’t know, only Sarri can answer that but there’s still time for him to make his decisions.
“Challenge of erasing Higuain and competing with Mertens? I didn’t want to erase Higuain and I have no thoughts about going against Dries.
“We have a real team here, we work and play together to win.
“Regaining my goalscoring form like before my injury? Yes, but that’s football and life.
“Besides, I repeat: it’s not important for me to be the goalscorer but rather another player for a team like this.
“Scoring the winning goal for the Scuetto a dream? Not bad, but it’s okay if Dries scores it. Or Pepe Reina!”
