PHOTO Dries Mertens has become a father today: Ciro, son of Naples, was born

Words are of little use when it comes to describing the link between Dries Mertens and the city of Naples. A love of stomach and bowels, as complete as it is complex: today, this plot has thickened with a new chapter, with a rare intertwining. Ciro was born. A son of Vesuvius.

Ciro was born this afternoon (6:30 pm) at the Ruesch Clinic in Naples. An immense joy for the Belgian striker, tied to Naples by an uncontrollable and all-encompassing love. The full name of the unborn child is Ciro Romeo Mertens.
