Victor Osimhen and Giovanni Simeone were on target and Jens Cajuste made his debut as Napoli emerged 2-0 winners in a pre-season friendly against Apollon Limassol.

The preparations continue for the Serie A title holders at the Castel di Sangro training ground.

With reports swirling around this afternoon that Piotr Zielinski will not make the transfer to Al-Ahli, instead deciding to negotiate a new contract with the Partenopei, the Poland international was in the starting XI.

Kvicha Kvaratskhelia had some early powerful runs down the left and another of these moves helped set up Matihas Olivera to assist the Osimhen opener.

Simeone then avoided the offside trap to meet a Juan Jesus ball over the top and double their lead.

New signing Cajuste made his debut for Napoli and almost created a third goal in stoppages, but Alessio Zerbin’s header was cleared off the line.

The opening game of the Serie A season for the reigning champions is away to Frosinone on Saturday August 19.
