Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis admits he's interested in Lille striker Nicolas Pepe.
De Laurentiis admits he wants to make a new attacking signing.
He said, "It could be Pepe or someone else. He scores more goals than Hirving Lozano. James is without doubt a very talented player, but if you study his career path, he has never really delivered on that potential.
When I brought Edinson Cavani to Napoli, they told me he was a support striker, but we put him as a centre-forward and he scored over 30 goals, writing history for both Napoli and PSG.
When we signed Gonzalo Higuain, he often didn't get a game at Real Madrid, then he joined us and again scored over 30 goals. When Arkadiusz Milik got injured twice, we made do with Dries Mertens in a central role and he too scored a record number of goals.
We don't need a big name star to fill the stadium, because either you love Napoli or you don't. I have no need for fairweather fans. If they don't love the club, they may as well stay at home."
