"Napoli" has confirmed that they have strengthened their defense by signing Elseid Hysaj from the "Empoli" team. The Albanian joined his teammate Mirko Valdifiori, who arrived in Southern Italy this summer. Furthermore, with Rafa Benitez becoming the coach of "Real" Madrid, former "Empoli" coach Maurizio Sarri took over the Naples club. "We are trying to fill the gap that still exists in defense," Sarri told Radio Kiss Kiss. "I am very happy because Hysaj will provide us with a strong defense and tactical play. Also, he can play on both sides of the field." The Albanian national team player became the second defender to be acquired by "Napoli" this summer. Earlier, the team was reinforced by Vlad Chiriches, who represented "Tottenham" in London.
