Napoli have agreed terms with Espanyol for the signing of midfielder David Lopez, the Liga club have revealed.

The 24-year-old came through the club’s youth system and, after a loan spell at Leganes followed by a brief switch to Huesca, Lopez returned to Espanyol in 2013 before going on to play 33 times in the league.

The defensive midfielder is expected to cost around Napoli around €5million and will slot into the berth vacated by Switzerland international Valon Behrami, who left Serie A for Hamburg during the close-season.

Lopez will be presented by the club upon the passing of his medical, which he is expected to complete on Sunday.

A statement on the Espanyol website read: “Early on Saturday morning, RCD Espanyol and SSC Napoli agreed terms for David Lopez’s transfer.

“Due to this agreement, the Sant Cugat midfielder will fly to Italy today in order to undergo his medical and complete the transfer.”
