Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri is excited to be working with Edinson Cavani.

The Uruguay international striker joined from Palermo earlier this month in one of the most surprising moves of the transfer window.

"Cavani as the desire to do well for Napoli and I am focusing on him," Mazzarri said.

"I have already spoken with Edinson a couple of times and I want to make him understand that for him this is the right team to come to.

"I have heard him be enthusiastic and happy. He will be deployed as a striker. That is the position he prefers.

"Cavani is both longing and enthusiastic to tie himself to Napoli's project."
