3. Cagliari
The Galatasaray loan star finds Cagliari attractive and has five goals in five games against them. He has never lost against winning two games and drawing three. All his goals have come in different games, and he adds two assists.
4. Sampdoria
He is always in form when playing Sampdoria. Napoli never lost against them during his time at the club, even in the two games he missed. He scored in every game he played, amounting to five goals in four games, topped up with one assist.
