Goran Pandev completes Napoli switch

Goran Pandev has confirmed that he has signed a permanent deal with Italian Cup winners Napoli.

The 28-year-old forward initially joined Napoli on a one-year loan deal from Inter Milan, but he has now signed a three-year contract in a deal reportedly worth £6.4m.

"I am in seventh heaven," Pandev told www.calciomercato.com. "I wanted to stay at Napoli at all costs after a year in which I have felt right at home.

"I have great confidence in this project and I am convinced that the victory in the Coppa Italia final is just the beginning of a great time for this club. I hope I can end my career at Napoli."

The Macedonian international, who has been in Serie A for over 10 years, scored six goals in 30 league appearances for the Azzurri last term.
