Benitez: 'Napoli will sign two strikers'

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez has described Leandro Damiao as "very good" while revealing that the club will sign two strikers before the end of the summer.

The Serie A outfit have sold Edinson Cavani to Paris Saint-Germain, and Benitez has signalled his intent to replace the Uruguay international, hinting at a move for Internacional frontman Damiao.

The 53-year-old Gazzetta dello Sport: "Damiao is very good. Two attackers will arrive - one who is more of a centre-forward and the other a support striker.

"We are looking for players at a fair price, but it is clear that to compete at a certain level, we need players with experience and international quality."

Benitez has moved to Napoli after winning the Europa League with Chelsea.
