Eljif Elmas is excited to be playing for Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The midfielder arrived this week from Fenerbahce.

I am very happy to be here and it already feels like a family," said the midfielder who turns 20 next month.

It's a dream to be coached by Ancelotti and just to be by his side. I can learn everything that he teaches me. A phone call from Ancelotti made a huge difference when it came to making my decision.

Obviously, Napoli playing in the Champions League also helped and is one of the many reasons why I came here.

I played in many roles during my career and I will give 100 per cent wherever the Coach asks me to play. I like to attack, but if needed, I can also help out in defence.

I chose the Number 12 shirt to stand out and be a bit special. I have a dream, but I'm afraid to say it out loud, as then it might not happen!"
