Arsenal target Gonzalo Higuain was officially unveiled as a Napoli player on Monday
night ahead of the Italian club's friendly against Galatasaray.
The Argentine striker, who was on the verge of joining Arsenal this summer, completed a
£34.5million switch to Rafa Benitez's Napoli from Real Madrid last week.
Pepe Reina, who joined the Italians on loan from Liverpool, was also in attendance and both
are in line to face Arsenal in the Emirates Cup this weekend.
Goals from Goran Pandev, Juan Camilo Zuniga
and Lorenzo Insigne helped Napoli to a 3-1 win
over Galatasaray at San Paolo.
Nordin Amrabat was on target for Galatasaray in
the 57th minute, but the visitors finished with
nine men after Dany Nounkeu and Fernando
Muslera both saw red in injury time.
Neither Reina or Higuain played a part in the
friendly on Monday night.
A minute's silence was held before the match
after a bus crash in nearby Irpinia on Sunday left
at least 39 people dead.
Galatasaray, like Napoli, will travel to London this
weekend to compete in the Emirates Cup
alongside Arsenal and Porto.
Napoli begin their Serie A campaign at home to
Bologna after the fixtures for the new Italian
season were announced.
