The 26-year-old, whose brother Julian plays for Canada, will team up with Spanish forward Michu, who moved from Swansea to Napoli earlier in the transfer window.

Third in Serie A last season, Napoli have been relatively quiet in the transfer market with defender Kalidou Koulibaly their only other new signing.

Rafael Benitez's team were held 1-1 at home by Athletic Bilbao in their Champions League playoff first leg tie on Tuesday, their first competitive match of the season.
