Yebda delighted with Napoli move

The 26-year-old joined Napoli from Portuguese side Benfica this summer.

“I am proud to be at Napoli,” he said. “I won’t have any problems. I can play in front of the defence, but it’s the Coach’s job to decide how to play me.

“Serie A is a very difficult League and it’s among the most important in the world. I will be ready.

“In 2008 I remember I came to play here with Benfica. The fans were fantastic. It’s a great community and I hope many of them come to the stadium.

“In Algeria, Napoli have many supporters. After all, Diego Maradona played here,” he concluded.
