I just preferred to stay in Europe for my development. I was still on the bench at the beginning in Naples, then I started to play and I wanted to enjoy my moments.“I worked so hard to get into the team and I didn’t want to leave – that would have been too easy. “I spoke a lot with [Axel] Witsel and [Yannick] Carrasco and they are actually quite positive about the football there.“I spoke to Carrasco [recently] and he said he’s getting used to it and his team is getting more points. “At the beginning he said he didn’t know how to find his place in the team, but now he’s feeling better. With Axel, even though he’s moved away, he said he still enjoyed his time.” Mertens has been with Napoli since 2013, taking in 246 appearances to date.He has been a regular source of goals throughout a career which has also seen him earn 78 caps for his country and would see that skill set embraced by ambitious outfits in the Chinese top flight were he to become available.</blockquote>
