Official: Serie A side Napoli sign Lukaku from Chelsea

Romelu Lukaku is on the Napoli bench ready for his debut, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giacomo Raspadori start against giant-killers Parma.

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.

Antonio Conte had a mixed start to his experience in Naples, needing penalties to scrape past Modena in the Coppa Italia and losing 3-0 at Verona in Serie A, but flattened Bologna 3-0 last week.

They also finally signed the players he was asking for, specifically Lukaku, Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay, though only the Belgian is on the bench today.

Of course, there was also the drama surrounding Victor Osimhen, who is frozen out of the squad for the foreseeable future and Lukaku has been given his shirt number.

David Neres is also on the bench after providing an assist on his brief debut.

Fabio Pecchia’s Parma have made a big impact following promotion, holding Fiorentina and beating Milan 2-1.

Hernani, Yordan Osorio and Adrian Benedyczak are still out of action, but Ange-Yoan Bonny drops into a deeper role with Romania internationals Dennis Man and Valentin Mihaila, as 19-year-old Mateusz Kowalski starts upfront.
