Regarded as a talented and promising prospect, Insigne is a diminutive, quick, creative, and skilful left footed forward, with good technique, an eye for goal, and a small, slender physical build, who is capable of playing anywhere along the front line. Due to his ability to both set up and score goals, he usually plays in a free role as a [[Forward (association football)#Second striker|second striker]], which allows him to operate on either flank or in the centre of the attacking third, although he frequently also plays as a right [[Forward (association football)#Winger|winger]], a position which allows him to cut into the centre and [[Curl (football)|curl]] shots on goal with his stronger left foot. He has also been deployed as an [[Midfielder#Attacking midfielder|attacking midfielder]], or as a main [[Forward (association football)#Striker|striker]] on occasion.<ref name="spazionapolicalciomercato"/><ref name="calciomercatospazionapoli"/><ref name="tuttocalciatori">{{cite web|url=http://www.tuttocalciatori.net/Insigne_Roberto|title=Roberto Insigne - Carriera|publisher=Tutto Calciatori|language=Italian|accessdate=21 January 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tuttoavellino.it/ex-biancoverdi/ex-biancoverdi-derby-umbro-per-roberto-insigne-32605|title=Ex biancoverdi: derby umbro per Roberto Insigne|publisher=Tutto Avellino|language=Italian|date=23 August 2016|accessdate=21 January 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.calcionapoli24.it/le_interviste/de-laurentiis-su-roberto-insigne-e-un-attaccante-di-razza-per-caratteristiche-n267630.html|title=De Laurentiis su Roberto Insigne: "E' un attaccante di razza, per caratteristiche più simile a Callejon che a Lorenzo.
