De Bruyne swarmed by excited fans as he joins Napoli
Kevin De Bruyne has joined Napoli on a free transfer after leaving Manchester City, turning down an offer from Chicago Fire. De Bruyne, 33, arrived in Italy on Thursday and met with Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis after being mobbed by fans. After 10 years with Man City, the Belgium international said he is confident he can still play at the highest level, and will now join up with Belgium team-mate Romelu Lukaku. Napoli, who won their second Serie A title in three seasons last month, announced De Bruyne's arrival on social media, stating, "Kevin is proud to be one of us!" De Bruyne won 19 trophies with City, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League, making 422 appearances and recording 108 goals and 177 assists.

Napoli confirm arrival of Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City
De Bruyne, 33, will move to the Serie A champions after 10 years at City in which he won the Premier League six times and the Champions League. A tweet from Napoli, which showed De Bruyne sitting on a throne, read: 'King Kev is here.' A further tweet read, 'Welcome to SS Napoli Kevin De Bruyne', while club president Aurelio De Laurentiis also released a photograph of himself shaking hands with the player. No contract details have yet been given. The move had been widely anticipated after De Laurentiis confirmed talks had been held with De Bruyne last month. He also revealed De Bruyne had already bought property in the area. De Bruyne had previously expressed hope of staying at City but the club decided not to offer him a new deal as they undertake an overhaul of the squad following an underwhelming season. He leaves City as one of the most decorated players in the club's history having helped them to 16 trophy successes since moving from Wolfsburg in a £55million deal in 2015. In all, De Bruyne made 422 appearances for City, scoring 108 goals and registering 170 assists. 'Everyone at Manchester City wishes Kevin the very best of luck on this new chapter of his career,' said the Premier League club in a statement confirming his departure. Napoli added: 'Kevin is proud to be one of us!'

Andy Robertson reveals talks over future but welcomes competition at Liverpool
Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has held talks about his future but insists he welcomes the competition which looks set to arrive this summer in the shape of Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez. The 31-year-old Scotland captain is entering the final year of his contract and last season was something of a mixed bag in terms of his form. Advertisement Having seen long-time team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold run down his deal in order to join Real Madrid, Robertson may face reduced playing time should the club's chase for the £45million-rated Cherries full-back be successful, as expected. Andy Robertson is entering the final year of his contract (John Walton/PA) But the Scot remains positive about his future and the challenge ahead. 'We have discussed it, of course we have. We've had good discussions with me and the club but what the future holds I am not sure,' Robertson told Sky Sports News about his contract. 'I need a rest after a long season and then I look forward to pre-season, that's all my focus is, I can't look too far ahead. I never have done that so I am not going to start doing that now. Advertisement 'I know the position I am in and I have only got a year left and a lot is getting spoken about and getting said but my full focus is on being a dad for the next couple of weeks and enjoying that time with the kids. 'Then I will try to come back in the best possible shape for pre-season and then we'll see what the future holds when these decisions come.' On the potential arrival of Kerkez, a 21-year-old Hungary international, he added: 'The club have identified certain positions where they want to get new blood in, it looks like players we're linked to are all younger players and they are all exciting players as well. 'When you play for a big club like Liverpool you expect challenges, you expect competition and I have always faced that, everyone here has faced that in their own positions and I expect nothing less. Advertisement 'I want the club to be ambitious, they are doing that and wherever we fit into that, if we're happy with our role, we stay and we do it and if not then I am sure there will be a few out the door as well but that's the nature of football.'
