The agent of Kevin Malcuit says the Napoli defender is primed for a big season.

Malcuit battled to be a first-choice last season.

“He'll be a bit more confident this year because he already knows the club and the staff," Bruno Satin told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“Now he feels at home. He knows this must be the season when he announces himself. Leaving Napoli has never been an option.

“I haven't heard anything from the club or the player in this regard. He's never asked me anything about his future.

“He's happy in Naples and he knows the time has come for him to become an important player for this team."
