Lorenzo Insign: 'Gonzalo Higuain is better team player than Edinson Cavani'

Gonzalo Higuain has replaced Edinson Cavani as Napoli's main goal-threat this season and Lorenzo Insigne believes the former Real Madrid striker is a better team player than the Uruguay international.

Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne believes that new striker Gonzalo Higuain is more of a team player than Edinson Cavani.

The 25-year-old was signed from Real Madrid in a deal worth a reported £34m after Cavani made the switch from Naples to Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the summer.

Higuain has been instrumental in Napoli's impressive start to the season and Insigne is full of praise for the Argentina international.

"Cavani always wants to score goals but Higuain is different," Insigne told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Higuain plays more for the team, he's a great champion and comes from a great club.

"His goals will make us even better, and he has a great understanding with everyone, just like Marek Hamsik and Jose Callejon."

Napoli have enjoyed four wins from their opening four Serie A fixtures and made a winning start to the Champions League campaign beating Dortmund 2-1.
