Napoli coach Rafael Benitez has no doubts that his side needed a striker like Gonzalo Higuain.
The Argentine has signed a five-year contract at the Serie A outfit after Real Madrid agreed to sell the striker for £34.5m and is expected to be officially unveiled on Monday.
"We were looking for a quality player. We were looking for someone playing at the highest level," Benitez told Il Corriere dello Sport.
"We have signed a player who comes from Real Madrid and we have signed a striker who has scored a hatful of goals and who will adapt very well to our system - an attacking system. We needed a player like this.
"We are all working together to ensure the players we want arrive. We have to sign players who will do well for Napoli for the next three or four years."
Higuain scored 107 goals in six seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu.
