Villarreal midfielder De Guzman on brink of Napoli move

Villarreal midfielder Jonathan de Guzman is on the brink of signing for Napoli.

The Dutchman spent last season on-loan with Swansea City.

Agent Fabio Parisi told SportItalia: "At Napoli, they simply take players who can perform a function for them. They do not take players just for the sake to take them.

"(Coach) Rafa Benitez knows what he wants. De Guzman is flexible, can build a play, defend, he is a complete player.

"The right conditions have emerged for him to be signed. The talks are now advanced."
