Napoli coach Rafael Benitez has suggested that the club did not have to think twice about signing new striker Manolo Gabbiadini.

The Italy international joined Benitez's ranks during the winter transfer window and continued his fine start at the club by bagging his second goal in two games during Napoli's 3-1 victory over Udinese this weekend.

"With his ability, Gabbiadini was able to give us a big hand up front and he also scored a goal," Benitez told Sky Sport Italia after the game.

"We did not have a minute of discussion about his signing because we were all in agreement.

"[Marek] Hamsik is also working well, recovering his confidence and this was also seen on the field."

Napoli currently occupy third position in the Serie A table.
