The agent of Napoli full-back Elseid Hysaj has announced to Radio Kiss Kiss that the Albanian international has signed a new deal at the club. Mario Giuffredi explained that; “We have completed the deal and the contracts have been signed. Now it’s just a question of when President (Aurelio) De Laurentiis decided to send out the tweet.”

He then added that; “The renewal will have an option that could see Elseid remain at the club until 2022”. The 22-year-old joined the vesuviani in 2015 when Maurizio Sarri was installed as the new coach. After an exceptional season last year and impressive performances for his country during their first ever European Championships in France this summer, Napoli have been anxious to tie the player down to a new deal at the San Paolo despite transfer rumours in the summer linking him to a move away from the club. It now seems as though an official announcement is imminent.
