Napoli’s Rrahmani: Serie A’s top-scoring defender since 2021 | OneFootball

You don’t need to wear the number 9 on your back to be lethal. Amir Rrahmani proved it once again on the pitch at the Olimpico, getting on the scoresheet against Lazio and confirming himself as an unconventional weapon for Napoli. The goal scored against the Biancocelesti is not just a highlight of the day, but the seal on a statistical record that has lasted for five years.

Rrahmani’s Verdict: 11 goals in 5 years. No center-back scores as much as the Azzurri leader

According to data compiled by Opta, the Kosovan is officially the most prolific central defender in Serie A over the last five seasons. From the 2021/22 season to today, Rrahmani has found the net 11 times. These numbers certify a fundamental tactical evolution: to his usual solidity in marking, the Azzurri defender adds a rare goal-scoring instinct for his role, becoming an absolute threat on set pieces. For Antonio Conte and for Napoli, Rrahmani is not just the minister of defense, but the first added striker.
