Napoli have signed Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic, who thus becomes their first winter transfer.
The Partenopei have been after the 20-year-old stopper for some time, and sporting director Pier Paolo Marino has beaten off stiff competition to land him.
Napoli-based Il Mattino claims the deal was done and dusted late last night and the player is set to arrive in January.
The Bosnian, who also holds an American passport, is strong, has height, pace and has already scored five goals this term.
Napoli were quick to move as they wanted to avoid missing out on him given the fact that there was some interest in him from the Premier League.
The details of the transfer are still unknown and Napoli are yet to make an official announcement.
Edy Reja's side have serious Champions League ambitions this term, and another top-rated defender is a welcome addition to the side.
