If Romelu Lukaku shines in Naples, the situation is much more complicated for Cyril Ngonge. The Belgian striker is struggling to fit into Antonio Conte's plans. Could a transfer materialize in the coming weeks? One thing is certain: clubs are already interested in him.
Lens ready to take action for Ngonge
RC Lens, currently seventh in Ligue 1, would have their sights set on Cyril Ngonge. The Sang et Or are looking to strengthen their offensive sector, and the Belgian is one of the profiles studied. At Napoli, the former Club Brugge youngster sees his prospects for playing time drastically reduced.
Limited playing time in Naples
This season, Ngonge has totaled just 253 minutes in eight appearances. His situation is complicated by the fact that Naples does not play in the European Cup and has already been eliminated in the National Cup. Antonio Conte, for his part, therefore does not need to rotate his squad.
A difficult adaptation in Serie A
Recruited by Naples in January for 18 million euros from Hellas Verona, Cyril Ngonge is struggling to establish himself. This transfer, for the moment, cannot be considered a success. Despite his short playing time, Domenico Tedesco still decided to call him up to the national team, where he made his debut in the Red Devils jersey.
An atypical journey for the Belgian striker
Cyril Ngonge, who passed through the academies of Anderlecht and Club Brugge, started at the highest level with the Blauw en Zwart. However, he did not break through and continued his progression by joining Jong PSV, before landing at RKC Waalwijk, where he was spotted by FC Groningen.
It was in the Netherlands that he reached a milestone, which allowed him to sign for Hellas Verona, where Napoli came to pick him up. Now a move to Ligue 1 could be the next step in his career. It remains to be seen whether Ngonge will be able to restart his progress in France.
