Napoli are looking to defend their scudetto title in a tightly contested battle for the title. Currently, Napoli still sit in first place even after dropping points to Como on the weekend. However, they are only first by one point compared to the other top four teams.

A lot of Napolis success can be contributed to the managerial prowess of Antonio Conte. Conte focuses on strength in defence but a lot of his teams have also been strong in midfield. This is same with the current Napoli team having a strong midfield to help them finish first last season.

This midfield only got stronger this season with the signing of Kevin De Bruyne for free. However, it could face challenges to slow them down this season and could ruin their title chances. This is due to the fact that Kevin De Bruyne will now be sidelined for some time due to a hamstring injury.

They will also lose Andre-Frank Zambo Angiussa to the African Cup of Nations for a month between, December and January as he will represent Cameroon. This could leave their midfield week especially since Stanislav Lobotka is still in rehabilitation from injury but did play on the weekend.

This could mean that they will likely have to sign a midfielder to balance out the team. Sacha Tavolieri suggest this could be true through Sky Sports. He suggest that they could make a move for another Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo on a loan. Napoli have had success signing from United with Scott Mctominay coming in and winning Seria A player of the season last season.

Mainoo could make the move to Naples as he is struggling to find game time under Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim. This lack of playtime has only seen him play 17% of the possible minutes this season. United could loan him out to Napoli to give the youngster game time to learn. The deal could have a buy option with the only if Naples want Mainoo to come permanently at the end of this season.
