Napoli have completed the signing of Billy Gilmour from Brighton.

The Serie A side will pay an initial £12.5m plus performance-based add-ons, with Brighton retaining a sell-on percentage.

Gilmour has signed a five-year deal at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The Scotland international's arrival follows that of his compatriot Scott McTominay, who completed his own switch from Manchester United on Friday. 

Another former Premier League star in the form of Romelu Lukaku has also joined Antonio Conte's side this summer.
