Napoli refuse to give up chase for Thomas Vermaelen

Italian giants Napoli are refusing to give up in their pursuit of Arsenal backup defender Thomas Vermaelen. The team captain is frustrated with a lack of first team football and considering a move away from the Emirates.

  • A report from Italy suggests that Napoli coach Rafa Benitez is hoping to use his connections in England to secure a deal for the Arsenal and Belgium international star.

    The Gunners are reportedly holding out for a massive £14 million to even consider opening talks with any interested sides, whilst Napoli have budgeted just £7 million for the centre back.

    Vermaelen has also been linked with a move to West Ham in recent weeks, but the player is not interested in a transfer to the Hammers.
