HIGUAIN PASS MEDICALS AT NAPOLI

Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain has passed a medical in Italy ahead of
a £34.5m move to Napoli.
The Argentina international, 25, has been heavily linked with Arsenal this
summer, but is now close to a move to the Stadio San Paolo.
Manager Rafael Benitez told Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport: "We
were looking for a quality player."
Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has also passed a medical as he prepares
to join Napoli on loan.
Benitez has been looking to replace Edinson
Cavani, who has joined Paris St-Germain.
He said: "We have signed a player who comes
from Real Madrid and we have signed a striker
who has scored a hatful of goals and who will
adapt very well to our system - an attacking
system. We needed a player like this.
"We are all working together to ensure the
players we want arrive. We have to sign
players who will do well for Napoli for the
next three or four years."
Higuain joined Real from River Plate in 2006
and scored 107 league goals in his seven
seasons at the Bernabeu.
Napoli have already signed Real Madrid striker Jose Callejon and defender
Raul Albiol, in addition to winger Dries Mertens from PSV Eindhoven, this
summer.
"Players who come from clubs like Real, PSV and Liverpool can only do us
good," Benitez said. "For Napoli these signings represent a quantum leap.
