Napoli target Aleksandar Mitrovic

Italian giants Napoli are prepared to lodge a winter attempt to sign Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic. The Serie A outfit are currently short upfront after Arek Milik sustained a knee problem earlier last month.

  • Chelsea make firm decision on Marc Guehi
  • Chelsea striker won't return after temporary stint

  • Milik is expected to be out for at least four months with an anterior cruciate ligament damage, and this has urged the club to search for a possible replacement.

    According to The Mirror, the Naples side are weighing up a bid for Mitrovic, who is a fan favourite at St.James Park.

    The Serbian international struggled during the opening stages of his debut campaign in 2015, but has since put up a string of impressive performances.

    Napoli will make a bid of around £18m for the highly-rated striker when the transfer window reopens in two months' time.

    The 22-year-old has amassed 14 goals in 45 appearances for Newcastle United till date.
