&lt;p&gt;David Neres is set to become the latest &lt;strong&gt;Brazilian&lt;/strong&gt; talent to don the &lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt; shirt, continuing a tradition at the club set by legends such as Faustinho Cané, Altafini, Careca, Vinicio, Alemao and, more recently, Allan, Juan Jesus and Natan. Born in São Paulo in 1997, Neres started his footballing journey for home-town club &lt;strong&gt;São Paulo FC&lt;/strong&gt;. He was a promising talent right from his early days in the Tricolor’s youth system and, after only a few games with the first team, was noticed by scouts from &lt;strong&gt;Ajax&lt;/strong&gt;, who brought him to Amsterdam in January 2017.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Neres hit the ground running in the Netherlands, scoring six goals in his first few months and nailing down a starting berth. In his next season, he lit up the Johan Cruyff Arena with 14 goals and 13 assists in 32 games, playing mostly on the right wing. 2018/19 was the heigh point of his stint at Ajax; on the right flank of Erik &lt;strong&gt;ten Hag’s&lt;/strong&gt; 4-2-3-1, alongside Van de Beek and Ziyech and behind Tadic, he was vital in the famous run to the &lt;strong&gt;Champions League semi-final&lt;/strong&gt;. He may have only scored two goals in the competition that season, but his contribution and assists were vital, especially in the Round of 16 second leg against Real Madrid, which Ajax won 4-1 to knock out the then reigning champions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;89aa1ac4-95e2-4f7c-8b0e-4af85d58b177&#34; data-image-id=&#34;89aa1ac4-95e2-4f7c-8b0e-4af85d58b177&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a0766908-6b57-4536-80cd-550ce1cc4308/Sito_HERO_ajax.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;89aa1ac4-95e2-4f7c-8b0e-4af85d58b177&#34; data-image-id=&#34;89aa1ac4-95e2-4f7c-8b0e-4af85d58b177&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;He got on the scoresheet again in the quarter-final against Juventus, equalising to set Ajax up for a historic qualification to the semis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2018/19&lt;/strong&gt; concluded memorably as Neres and Ajax won both the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup, the club’s first &lt;strong&gt;double&lt;/strong&gt; in 17 years. That summer, Neres went to the Copa America with Brazil, playing in two group games as the Seleção went on to win the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After 121 appearances for Ajax, in which he scored 37 goals and registered 35 assists, Neres joined &lt;strong&gt;Benifca&lt;/strong&gt; in 2022. With the Lisbon-based club he scored a Champions League goal against Juventus again, one of four he netted in the competition that season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;26387068-925c-4540-9829-2e44aff8988b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;26387068-925c-4540-9829-2e44aff8988b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/9b27261d-7849-4c6a-8550-f425a511af72/Sito_HERO_benfica.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;26387068-925c-4540-9829-2e44aff8988b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;26387068-925c-4540-9829-2e44aff8988b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;As Águias&lt;/em&gt; went on to reach the quarter-final stage before being knocked out by Inter. In his first campaign in Portugal, Neres scored twelve goals in all competitions and won the Primeira Liga. Last season, he got five goals and eight assists in 24 league games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A versatile player, Neres can operate on both flanks, drop back or play through the middle on occasions. A gifted and quick dribbler, he is lethal out wide and could form a devastating wing pairing with Kvaratskhelia. His arrival offers Antonio Conte different options and the chance to add &lt;strong&gt;goals and assists&lt;/strong&gt; to the Napoli squad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images + X Aurelio De Laurentis)&lt;/p&gt;
