Napoli will have an extra obstacle to overcome in their Champions League play-off, as Wesley Sneijder has flown in to join Nice.

The first leg is at the Stadio San Paolo on August 16, with the decider in France on August 22.

This afternoon, Sneijder landed at Nice airport and will undergo a medical tomorrow.

He is a free agent after terminating his Galatasaray contract by mutual consent.
