The agent of Empoli goalkeeper Elia Caprile says he's ready to play for Napoli.

Caprile is on-loan at Empoli from the Azzurri.

Graziano Battistini told TVPlay: "Elia is very clear about one thing. The steps must always be taken until the end of your career, it means that you are alive if you have this mentality.

"It is clear that what he is doing is important, the fact that he is proving to be in goal without pressure as he was in the Chievo Primavera. He is growing a lot, he demonstrates that he has great personality and charisma on the pitch by doing it not with talk but with facts. If you come to the stadium you will notice how he plays the role beyond the individual error, but thinking overall.

“He is focused on Empoli, he is a boy who is demonstrating that he is ready to raise the bar further, the most important thing is that he closes the circle as he started the season trying to make his contribution to salvation.

"In any case, seeing that he continues to do well in every category, for me he would be ready for Napoli, then everyone will make their own assessments."
