Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri admits he's in the market for a new striker.

Fiorentina ace Alberto Gilardino has been linked with Napoli since the end of the season.

"Alberto Gilardino is the striker of the Nazionale, so of course I like him," said Mazzarri.

"There aren't many forwards around who can score 20 goals. If we found one then we would have to consider it and see whether a deal can be done.

"I don't really know much about Fred so I cannot say much about him. As for Rolando Bianchi, despite being a good player, he wouldn't add much to what we already have."
