Napoli announced on Friday the signing of Scotland's Billy Gilmour from Brighton for the next five seasons, until 2029.

"Napoli announce that they have acquired on a permanent basis the sporting services of Billy Gilmour from Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club," the Italian club said.

A Chelsea youth product and former Norwich player, last season he recorded his record number of appearances in the season in all competitions (41 for Brighton), surpassing the 28 he made for Norwich in 2021-22.

Still looking for a solution for Nigerian Victor Osimhen, Napoli closed the deal with the English side at the last minute to strengthen their midfield.

The Scotsman will join Antonio Conte in a deal worth around 15 million euros. He will also join his compatriot Scott McTominay, who joined from Manchester United for 30 million euros.
