Chilean striker Eduardo Vargas has announced he will join Napoli when the transfer window reopens, despite reported interest from Chelsea and Liverpool.
The highly-rated attacker is leaving Universidad de Chile to head for Serie A.
The 22-year-old will move to Italy for a fee believed to be around £11.5 million in January and will link up with fellow South American forwards Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
"Yes I will be joining Napoli, a large team in Italy," Vargas told Radio Cooperativa.
"I'm sure I'll do very well there. I know Cavani and Lavezzi.
"I am very happy that everything was tied up quickly, and for me to play in Italy is a dream come true."
Napoli will face Chelsea in the last 16 of the Champions League.
