Former Tottenham defender took on Arsenal last night.
Tottenham signed seven players with money signed from selling Gareth Bale in 2013.
Christian Eriksen was a big hit, and Erik Lamela remains an enigma. The rest have all been sold. The worst of the seven was the cheapest addition, Vlad Chiriches.
Chiriches had a belated chance to become a hero to Tottenham fans last night and knock Arsenal out of the Europa League.
The Romanian started in central defence for Napoli alongside Kalidou Koulibaly.
He was unable to give his old side extra reason to cheer, with Arsenal going on to win the match 1-0 and go through 3-0 on aggregate.
Chiriches was a flop in North London, but he has found a home at Napoli and will be needed again next season particularly if Koulibaly earns a big move away.
