Ezequiel Ivan Lavezzi has moved from San Lorenzo to Napoli on a five year contract.
Lavezzi was being chased by a number of Italian clubs, but has been finally been snapped by recently promoted Napoli, who also signed Gargano in the afternoon.
He was recently crowned Argentine Champion with San Lorenzo, and put in a man of the match performance in the all important 4-2 win over Arsenal, the highlight being a sensational second goal with a fierce drive from outside the box.
He started his career with Estudiantes in 2003, and finished as the fourth highest scorer in the Apertura before moving to San Lorenzo, where he repeated the feat, turnign more than a few heads.
Before the commencement of the Clausura, the 22-year-old had been linked to Buenos Aires rivals River Plate. However, the deal fell through due to a conflict of interest between both clubs, and it seemed like the player was disappointed about the outcome.
He has since made and even better mark, meaning that the interest in him was no longer limited to Argentine clubs.
The youngster signs a five year contract with the club almost legendary in Argentina for Diego Maradona having represented them with distinction.
Having just turned 22, he is among the promising young strikers to come out of Argentina, even though he has yet to really set the scoring charts alight.
