Salernitana made headlines this summer after their acquisition of legendary French winger Franck Ribery. They have also signed Nigerian striker Simeon Nwankwo, who joins the club on loan from Crotone. For Crotone, Nwankwo registered an impressive 20 league goals last season. The two attacking players will be important for Salernitana's survival hopes this season.
