Insigne: I will convince Conte to take me to the Euros

Published on: 18 January 2016

Napoli’s Lorenzo Insigne has praised his goalscoring teammate Gonzalo Higuain, claiming that he is one of the best forwards on the planet.

Already scoring a notable 20 goals so far this Serie A season, his Italian wingman Insigne has admitted he hopes the Argentine remains with the Partenopei for a significant period of time.

“We are grateful to have Gonzalo in our team as he is one of the strongest strikers in the world,” said Insigne to Tgr Campania. “I hope he will remain with us for as long as he possibly can.”

The Azzurri currently lead rivals Juventus by two points at the top of the domestic league standings, although the 24-year-old has denied that it is a two-horse race for the Scudetto, and that they are solely focused upon their own performance.

“We are not duelling with Juventus,” he added. “We are only thinking about our campaign.”

Lastly, the 24-year-old also insisted that he is optimistic about securing a spot in Antonio Conte’s Italy squad for the European Champions this summer.

“I will convince the coach to take me to the Euros,” Insigne concluded.
