Giaccherini agent insists he's happy at Napoli

The agent of Napoli midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini insists he's happy in Naples.

The Azzurri midfielder has endured some injury problems, but is yet to start for the Partenopei in the current campaign.

Agent Furio Valcareggi said, "Giaccherini has been fine for about ten days, there no problem with anyone and we have already got set up in the city.

"We're just waiting to play, but without any kind of anxiety: the relationship is perfect with the club and with the coach.

"He is a player that runs almost 14 km in a match, so he can comfortably hold the role of Marek Hamsik.

"He is very flexible, coaches often fall in love with him. He would like to play more, like everyone else, but at Napoli it's not so simple in such a strong team. Watch out for Napoli winning the Scudetto this year!

"I'm joking of course, but there is a long winter ahead, and Juventus have little options in midfield. I like to stick up for Napoli, the strength of Kou's [Kalidou Koulibaly] is almost embarrassing.

"There is also the market in January: I do not know anything about Icardi, but it is said that there may be an update on his situation with Inter. De Laurentiis wants the Scudetto, I assure you!"
