Norton-Cuffy, Genoa’s golden find: Napoli tracking him | OneFootball

The victory in Udine not only brought Genoa three vital points for the standings, but it also definitively confirmed the Rossoblù's market intuition and Daniele De Rossi's technical vision. The winning goal scored by Norton-Cuffy is the cherry on top of an exponential growth that the coach had predicted with surgical precision on the eve of the match.

"He has unexplored and incredible potential, a physique for a top European club," De Rossi had warned, also revealing the work method adopted to polish the English diamond: video sessions studied on Raoul Bellanova's movements to teach him the tactical timing of Italian football. The 2004-born winger responded positively, demonstrating he can dominate the right flank with an athletic prowess that justifies the coach's ambition to make him "the strongest of all."

From a financial standpoint, as revealed by Sportitalia, the operation is proving to be a genuine managerial masterpiece. Snatched from Arsenal for a total amount close to 3 million euros, including bonuses, plus a percentage on future resale, his market value has already multiplied in a few months. However, the Grifone management has clear ideas for the winter window: despite the allure of Serie A giants, with Juventus and Napoli at the forefront taking notes, the shutters are down. The primary mission is to lead Genoa towards a safe salvation by riding the positive wave of De Rossi's care; any discussion of a massive capital gain is strictly postponed to next summer, when the club can fully capitalize on the explosion of its jewel.
