Dries Mertens

We like to score a lot of goals.

Football in Italy is crazy and the people are very crazy, too, so I think we are used to it.

I received an offer from China: I would've earned an incredible sum. But Napoli didn't want me to go, and I wanted to stay. So nothing came of it.

I know I'm not a Lionel Messi or a Cristiano Ronaldo.

I don't see myself as a world-class player.

Napoli's game is perfect for me. I will always get goals here.

I like it when you're in good form, you keep going and everything works out well.

It's simply amazing to have the chance to play for PSV.

I have had so many fine moments in Naples, but the first that comes to mind is when I signed the contract. I immediately loved this city and these wonderful people.

I am not Lionel Messi, I'm not Maradona, I'm just Dries and I'm happy with that.

I am happy at Napoli.

Everybody in Naples must have a picture with me by now, but if you need another one, I never say no to a selfie.

My initials are D.M., just like Diego Maradona. And just like him, I want to be remembered by the people of Naples.

Juventus can afford to spend a great deal of money for new players. But Napoli can always respond by playing magnificently.

I have become a bargain - where do you find a player who scores 28 goals in Serie A and costs €28m? Nowhere, right?

People who aren't in love with Napoli have simply never seen it as I have. And the people who are in love know this love is eternal.

Me, all-time topscorer - who would have thought that when I signed for Napoli?

I really like Italy. I am good there and they treat me good.

As it is I'm very pleased at PSV.

There is no such thing as friends on the field.

I was ready to leave Holland and Serie A is a big step for me.

You know a dog loves you for who you are; they don't know if you're a soccer player or not. Sometimes people treat you good because you're a footballer or because you're famous, but a dog doesn't know it.

I like to live like a local. When you are somewhere, you have to try to take the culture of that place and try to adapt.

Neapolitan people are always outside. They are not in front of the television.

When I lived in Holland, it was a lot of television, watching Netflix all the time. You eat at 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock, you are finished at 8, and then you go lay down. You rest. That's what I did in Holland.
