Gokhan Inler appears to have resurrected his career at Napoli after gaining a rare start under Rafael Benitez.
The Swiss midfielder, 30, performed well for the Naples club in their 2-2 draw with Inter Milan on Sunday which prompted words of praise from his manager.
"Inler proved he is a great player and a fantastic professional," Benitez said.
"He's working well and it showed. Last season was his best for Napoli, while this year he lost his place because Walter Gargano and Diego Lopez have done well."
The positive approval from Benitez may dim the hopes of Liverpool and Tottenham who are being linked with a potential summer move for ex-Udinese star Inler.
