Don't be fooled by his lack of goals this season, he and Hamsik carried this Napoli team throughout the season. When either of them were injured the team really suffered.
I think he's a gem in the making. Lightning pace, can operate anywhere offensively and can create something on his own. I really think he would be a perfect player for us, can only improve aswell.

Would you spend £20m on him though?

I only ever watched him on these very low quality youtube clips, but from what I've seen he is looking very promising. He likes to go at people (like Babel does) but is far more skillful and has far better conrtol than Babel.
However, splashing 20m on him would be a huge gamble. Rafa might be putting his Anfield future on the line with this lad if he splashes such a large chunk of our transfer budget on him (assuming it's 20m and assuming we don't have much more than that to spend). If it doesn't work out Rafa may find himself out of this club by the end of this season.
Can we give them Babel + some cash (5-8m)? I think this might be a good deal for us (again - I've only seen him in these clips...). Will they take Lucas and give us that Hamsik lad?

This is probably the best clip i've seen of him. Certainly looks creative,be usefull against the tight defences at home.

The first 3 clips just show him getting tackled and falling over, which he seems to do a lot of. No wonder his agent is desperate and shouting from the rooftops.

I'll let you know when I find a footballer that has never been tackled and fallen over
