"Napoli" club full-back Dries Mertens urges his teammate in the Belgian national team, Thomas Vermaelen, to move to Italy to play matches. London's Arsenal club defender T. Vermaelen did not return to the starting lineup after his injury last season, so he may leave the ranks of the "Gunners" due to playing time. D. Mertens revealed that he talked to his teammate in the national team and tried to invite him to join Napoli. "I have already told Vermaelen 10 times to come to Napoli. This city is wonderful and even Rafael Benitez asked me to lure Thomas here. But Arsenal is a great team, so it will be difficult for him to leave," said the Belgian. This season, T. Vermaelen has appeared on the field 8 times in Arsenal's shirt.
