Pandev extends Napoli deal

Goran Pandev has confirmed he has signed a permanent contract with Napoli.

The Macedonian international initially joined Napoli on a one-year loan deal from Inter Milan, but the 28-year-old striker has now signed a three-year contract in a deal reportedly worth £6.4m.

“I am in seventh heaven,” Pandev told www.calciomercato.com. “I wanted to stay at Napoli at all costs after a year in which I have felt right at home.

“I have great confidence in this project and I am convinced that the victory in the Coppa Italia final is just the beginning of a great time for this club. I hope I can end my career at Napoli.”

Pandev scored six goals in 30 league appearances for Napoli last season.
