Arkadiusz Milik not only accepted the task of replacing Gonzalo Higuaín at Napoli this summer, he also became the most expensive Polish player ever with his €32m move from Ajax, the fee more than ten times what the Eredivisie club had paid Bayer Leverkusen for the striker 12 months before.
Still, the 22-year-old – a UEFA EURO 2016 quarter-finalist, and Poland’s match winner against Northern Ireland in Nice – shows no signs of pressure. Milik scored twice on his Serie A home debut against AC Milan and repeated the trick on his UEFA Champions League bow for Napoli at Dynamo Kyiv, his first-half double earning a 2-1 comeback victory.
