The Norway centre-back who featured for Genoa on loan last season, on Monday completed his move to Napoli from Brighton for €5m plus €3m add-ons. 

Ostigard, who passed hi physical tests carried out in Dimaro, was presented to the Press.

"I know Serie A, played for a year at Genoa but Napoli is different, it's a great dream for me and I'm really happy to be here."

Asked who was the strongest striker you faced in Serie A, the former Brighton defender said, "I have to say Osimhen, who is really a great player."

The Norwegian, who's now a teammate of Osimhen, also told Napoli fans that he didn't join the club to come and replace Koulibaly Kalidou but can play as left or right centre-back.

"Last year I played both on the right and on the left, it's not a big problem, I can play wherever the coach wants. There are no differences."
