Cavani vows to stay at Napoli

Speculation has mounted in recent weeks that the Uruguayan striker was destined for a move away from the Stadio San Paolo, with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City touted as potential destinations.

These rumours continued to arise even though Cavani had recently displayed his loyalty to Napoli by signing a contract extension in May that would see him stay in Serie A until 2016.

"I'm very happy with everything that Naples and its people have given me, and that's why we'll be there again next year," he said.

"You always try to finish a year or a season off in the best way possible because you never know what's around the corner," he explained.



"I didn't expect things to work out so quickly but for some reason they did. At the end of the day I think it all came about because I worked hard and stuck at it."
