Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti has declared Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will replace Lorenzo Insigne.

Insigne left for Toronto FC this summer and Spalletti says Kvaratskhelia arrives as a direct replacement.

After their 4-1 friendly win against Perugia, Spalletti said: "We passed the ball well, we had a good possession and then Kvara put the quality in the first half. A worthy replacement for a champion like Insigne.

"Certainly we are thinking about some integration of the squad, but the market tells us that many shots will be made at the last moment given the long period in which the negotiations take affect.

"I absolutely trust the club for the operations we are going to do. It is clear that the fans want to see quality. We have only one means at our disposal, that of showing personality and technique when we enter the field."
