Napoli have signed SPAL striker Andrea Petagna, though the Italian will remain with the Spallini for the remainder of the season.

The deal has been in the work for days, as the Azzurri continue their busy January after completing moves for Diego Demme, Stanislav Lobotka and Matteo Politano.

While those three players have already joined Napoli, Petagna’s move is one for the future as the Azzurri announced on their official website that they have agreed to loan the striker back to SPAL for the remainder of the season.
