Napoli playmaker José Maria Callejon has been speaking to Radio Onda Cero. The 29-year-old Spaniard, who has become one of the clubs leaders during the current campaign, was asked about the summer departure of Higuain to Juventus to which he replied; “Before he left everything was good but then he chose to go to Juve and our supporters could not accept this; Neapolitan’s feel affection for players who are honest and loyal to the shirt”.
 

On his initial move to the club in 2013, Callejon explained that; “I was on holiday and Rafa Benitez called me and asked if I’d like to join him at Napoli. I immediately said yes as it seemed like a great project. Looking back I’m certain I made the right choice.  

Callejon has made 124 appearances in his three years at the club and is the top goalscorer so far this season with seven league goals.
