Eljif Elmas is excited to be playing for Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The midfielder arrived this week from Fenerbahce.

“I am very happy to be here and it already feels like a family," said the midfielder who turns 20 next month.

“It's a dream to be coached by Ancelotti and just to be by his side. I can learn everything that he teaches me. A phone call from Ancelotti made a huge difference when it came to making my decision.

“Obviously, Napoli playing in the Champions League also helped and is one of the many reasons why I came here.

“I played in many roles during my career and I will give 100 per cent wherever the Coach asks me to play. I like to attack, but if needed, I can also help out in defence.

“I chose the Number 12 shirt to stand out and be a bit special. I have a dream, but I'm afraid to say it out loud, as then it might not happen!"
