Napoli enter race to sign Man Utd striker

Serie A giants Napoli have entered the race to sign Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee this summer, according to journalist Gianluigi Longari.

The Red Devils have so far signed two midfielders in Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, alongside back-up goalkeeper Karl Darlow.

They are also close to landing midfielder Carlos Baleba from Brighton & Hove Albion and there could be more business done soon.

United are open to recruiting a new striker, but for this to happen, Zirkzee may have to leave. Napoli are said to be exploring a move for him.

The Italian side were initially keen on landing Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal, but the Brazil international has changed his stance in recent days.

He is not entirely convinced about a move to the Naples outfit which means the Serie A giants may have to look elsewhere for a new striker.

Zirkzee has been a long-term target for Napoli and it appears they are currently weighing up a possible approach for his services.
