Napoli chief Cristiano Giuntoli says it wasn't a battle to keep hold of Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Senegal defender was linked with a move away over the summer.

But Giuntoli revealed, “It was tougher to keep Koulibaly in previous transfer sessions, to be honest.

"There wasn't much money going around on the transfer market, the lad realised it too, so with three years on his contract remaining, he was more than happy to stay and we were very happy to keep him."

On Victor Osimhen's arrival from Lille, he added: “We thought Osimhen could give us a big hand and we are pleased with how he's doing so far."
