Higuain+Callejon NapoliNapoli forward Jose Callejon believes it will be difficult for Napoli to win Serie A but has kiddingly promised to host a dinner party should the Partenopei win the Scudetto.

Maurizio Sarri’s side have enjoyed a bright start to the season subsequently placing them among the Scudetto challengers and star man Callejon has even joked about treating everyone to a meal should they finish first.

“We have started well,” the former Real Madrid man told Spanish radio, Cadena COPE.

“We are close to first place and we want to continue like this.

“We play good football and we score a lot which the fans like.”

The Spaniard was then questioned whether he believed Napoli could finish top of Serie A after their fine start.

“If we manage to win it then I’ll invite you all to dinner!” Callejon replied, light heartedly.

“It’s a huge challenge and something like this hasn’t happened since the day’s of [Diego] Maradonna.

“Hopefully we can do it this year.”

Several players have admitted undergoing a cold relationship with Napoli’s previous coach Rafael Benitez, though Callejon maintains he enjoyed a healthy relationship under his compatriot.

“It’s not true that I had a problem with Benitez,” Callejon declared.

“I played well with him just as much as I am now.

“I’m happy here, I now have so many friends from Naples and really like the city.”
