Napoli eye move for Tottenham midfielder Moussa Dembele

Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele has reportedly emerged as a January transfer target for Italian giants Napoli, according to sources in Italy.

Italian newspaper II Mattino claims that Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, had revealed last month that the Serie A club were keen on signing a full-back, centre-back and a midfielder during the winter transfer window.


Napoli manager Rafa Benitez has been linked with moves for the likes of Liverpool's Lucas Leiva and Barcelona's Javier Mascherano in the past, and Belgian International Moussa Dembele is the latest player to be linked with a move to Naples.


Dembele has failed to replicate the form, he displayed at Fulham since his move to Tottenham Hotspur last summer.


Napoli are expected to tempt the North London outfit with an appreciable bid for the midfielder during the winter transfer window in January.
