The Noa Lang stats from the 2024-25 campaign indicate Napoli’s most expensive signing of the summer window so far could go on to successfully fill the void left by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
In January, the Georgian superstar quit Naples for PSG. During his short time in France, Kvaratskhelia has won the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France as well as the Champions League.
The 24-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best wingers in world soccer currently. He is also considered to be the greatest ever player to represent the Georgia national side.
Although his absence in the second-half of last season didn’t stop the Azzurri winning the Scudetto, replacing him was always going to be a tall order. However, Antonio Conte may have found the solution.
Who Is Noa Lang?
Noa Lang is a Dutch winger who joined Napoli from PSV Eindhoven on July 17. Lang is comfortable playing on either flank but the left-hand side is his favored and natural position.
Lang can also be utilized as a secondary striker when needed. Standing at just 5ft 7in, Lang is renowned for his outstanding dribbling abilities and has a keen eye for goal. Very similar to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Lang’s pace and agility have helped the 26-year-old develop into one of the finest attackers in European soccer. Azzurri supporters can certainly look forward to seeing him in action in the coming weeks.
After starting his senior career with Ajax, Lang continued to shine at Twente, Club Brugge and then PSV. He already has five league titles to his name with his latest coming last season.
Meanwhile, head coach Antonio Conte is targeting a new Napoli goalkeeper ahead of the new season. The maverick Italian aims to replenish all areas of his roster this summer.
How Much Did Noa Lang Cost Napoli?
Noa Lang cost Napoli €25million when he signed from PSV Eindhoven on July 17. Lang put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the current Serie A champions.
The fee itself can be deemed extremely modest considering he still had three years to run on his deal with Eindhoven. He made the switch to Red and Whites in 2023 for what was a record €15m.
A profit of €10m is still a healthy margin from PSV’s perspective but some supporters will feel they could have commanded more. Nonetheless, it has worked out extremely well for the Azzurri.
Antonio Conte and his staff are expected to work closely with Lang over pre-season. The Dutch star is expected to make the left-wing position his own after Leonardo Spinazzola and Giacomo Raspadori were used there last season.
Noa Lang Stats 2024-25
The Noa Lang stats for the 2024-25 season highlight why PSV Eindhoven went on to land the Dutch title. His electric pace and brilliant dribbling skills made him extremely hard to defend against.
In the Eredivisie, Lang scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists from 29 appearances. In all competitions, he finished up with 14 goals and 12 assists from 44 outings.
Compared to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Lang actually finished up last season with two more goal contributions across all competitions than the Georgian. He also played seven games less than the PSG star.
Furthermore, a recent X (formerly Twitter) post from GoalPoint offered a comparison between the two players whereby Lang came out on top for % of completed dribbles and key passes attempted per 90.
Although Kvaratskhelia did come out on top in most of the categories that were used, the fastest payout betting sites firmly favor Lang to go on and win the Scudetto with Napoli in 2026.
