Romelu Lukaku's Napoli form under Antonio Conte has seen him hit a feat rivalled only by Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
Romelu Lukaku is having a transformative debut season at Napoli under Antonio Conte, evolving his role beyond that of a traditional target man.
In Monday’s 3-0 victory over Empoli, Lukaku played a crucial part by not only contributing to the opening goal but also assisting both of Scott McTominay's goals.
The gameweek 32 performance was a testament to Lukaku's undoubted ability to facilitate play for his teammates through effective hold-up and unselfish passing.
Lukaku hits double figures for goals and assists
The 2024-25 season is significant for Lukaku as he has achieved double figures in both goals and assists in Serie A for the first time.
With 12 goals and 10 assists in 30 appearances, he has been directly involved in 22 of Napoli's 51 league goals, showcasing his impact.
)
The closest he came to this double-figure achievement was in the 2020-2021 season at Inter, where he scored 24 goals and provided nine assists under Conte.
This term’s return in goals and assists means the Belgian striker is now one of two players in Europe’s big-five leagues to hit double digits in goals and assists, a feat previously achieved by Liverpool star Mohamed Salah (27 goals, 18 assists).

Despite scoring significantly fewer goals for Napoli, Lukaku’s six match-winning goals is a joint-high in Italy's top flight (along with Mateo Retegui) and is just three shy of Salah's nine game-clinching efforts, highlighting the importance of the Partenopei forward's impact.
What next for Napoli?
Monday’s victory over Empoli saw Conte’s men score three goals in a Serie A match since January's 3-2 win at Atalanta, while they netted as many in a league match at the Maradona for the first time since defeating Como 3-1 in October 2024.
Having cut Inter's lead to three points, the Partenopei could move level with Simone Inzaghi's side in gameweek 33.
Napoli travel to Monza while Inter are away at Bologna, who have not lost on home soil since December 30, claiming six wins from eight (two draws).
