Napoli on Friday announced officially
the acquisition of Belgian midfielder Leander Dendoncker from
Aston Villa.
"Welcome Leander," said President Aurelio De Laurentiis on
social media.
The 28-year-old arrives at the Naples club on loan with right of
redemption at the end of the season for nine million euro.
His first game with the azzurri will be against Lazio in Rome on
Sunday.
Dendoncker is the fourth winter acquisition for the Naples side,
following the arrival in January of Cyril Ngonge from Verona,
Pasquale Mazzocchi from Salernitana and Hamed Traoré, on loan
from Bournemouth.
Napoli is also said to be close to finalizing the acquisition
from Udinese of 23-year-old Argentine central defender Nehuen
Perez for 18 million euro.
