Empoli Coach: Napoli, Liverpool target Zielinski 'has enormous potential'
In fact, even the Poland international's former team Empoli (who had to send him back to Udinese when his loan ended last season) are very enthusiastic about his potential, as underlined by their new Coach.
“Piotr is an extraordinary player, a unique talent. “ Giovanni Martusciello told the Neapolitan Radio Kiss Kiss, “A true athlete, and such a genuine person too.”
Zielinski revealed that he'd spoken with Liverpool Coach Jurgen Klopp earlier this summer, but that trail has since gone cold.
Martusciello was also full of praise for predecessor Maurizio Sarri.
“Piotr was lucky to find Sarri, who was able to remake him, as he moved him to a deeper midfield role. Maurizio has also given him tactical discipline.
“He's a midfielder with enormous potential, an important signing and a very reliable player.
“I hope he joins [Napoli] so that you realize how good he is. He can play anywhere in midfield for Napoli: in the middle, or the wing or behind the strikers”.
