Napoli owner and president Aurelio de Laurentiis says the Italian club will avoid signing any more African players unless they agree not to play in the Africa Cup of Nations. “Enough of African players, or they should give up playing in the African Cup of Nations. Meanwhile, Senegal won the Nations Cup for the first time, to spark wild celebrations back home, while host nation Cameroon finished third. The next edition of the Nations Cup will be held in January and February 2024 in Ivory Coast, having been moved from its initial dates of June-July 2023 because of weather concerns. Despite the departure of Senegal captain Koulibaly to the Premier League, Napoli still have three Africans on their books - having completed a permanent deal for Zambo Anguissa from Fulham in May.
