Striker Simone Verdi explained why he decided to go to Napoli.

The 26-year-old striker was acquired by the Neapolitans from Bologna.

According to the player, Napoli, he preferred because the team was led by Carlo Ancelotti.

"Napoli is a great chance for me to reach a new level," Verdi said in an interview with Sky Sport Italia.

"When I was in the youth academy of Milan, Ancelotti won with" Rosso Neri "absolutely everything. I managed to work with him, and, I must admit, my decision to go to Napoli was also dictated by the desire to play under the leadership of Ancelotti ".

"I prefer to act on the right flank, but, of course, I will act in any position, depending on what the coach wants from me".

Last season, Verdi scored 10 goals and gave 10 assists in 34 Serie A games.
