Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed Napoli have signed striker Arkadiusz Milik, as the Poland international joined the Italian team for a pre-season friendly.

"Welcome Milik," club president De Laurentiis wrote on Twitter.
Milik, whose reported transfer fee is around €34 million, will face a tough task to replace Gonzalo Higuain at Napoli after the Argentine left to join Serie A champions Juventus in a deal worth €90m.
Napoli have made two major signings since the end of last season, bringing in defender Lorenzo Tonelli from Empoli and signing Italy international Emanuele Giaccherini from Sunderland.
