DONE DEAL: Napoli land Bournemouth midfielder Hamed Traore

Bournemouth midfielder Hamed Traore has signed for Napoli in the Italian Serie A.

The 23-year-old Ivory Coast international is not at the African Cup of Nations due to health issues.

After contracting malaria, he has been resting, but that has not impacted his club future.

After playing six games for the Cherries this season, he will be hoping to earn more game time in Naples.

The deal to take him to Napoli is a loan until the end of the season, but there is no indication of a buy-option.

"Everyone connected with AFC Bournemouth wishes Hamed well for the remainder of the season," a Cherries statement read.
