Napoli boss Rafa Benitez has revealed he is looking to sign
another striker during the summer transfer window.
The Partenopei have already moved quickly to bolster their
attacking options following the sale of Edinson Cavani to
Paris Saint-Germain, with Dries Mertens, Jose Callejon and
Gonzalo Higuain all moving to San Paolo for a combined fee
of more than 56 million euros.
Napoli has also been linked with a move for Porto striker
Jackson Martinez, and Benitez is keen to add another name
to his strike force in order for his side to challenge both
domestically and in the Champions League.
"I want a striker at Higuain's level to be competitive in the
league and the Champions League. Last year, Napoli had 14
alternatives. Three are gone, so there is a need for more reinforcements," he was quoted as
saying by Repubblica .
Napoli beat Galatasaray 3-1 in a friendly on Monday and Benitez was pleased with his side's
display in difficult weather conditions.
"It was not easy to play in this heat, but we were the protagonists. Of course, we can and
definitely will improve," he added.
