Chelsea target Luis Muriel is being courted by Serie A side Napoli, according to Calciomercato.
The report says that Napoli are very keen on signing the forward in the January window to bolster their forward options.
Napoli sold Gonzalo Higuain to Juventus in the summer and are still looking for an out-and-out replacement for the prolific marksman.
They have now turned their attentions to Muriel, who is also wanted by Premier League side, Chelsea.
Antonio Conte is looking to add to his squad in January and sees Muriel as someone who can come in and rotate with Diego Costa up front.
Muriel has scored just 12 goals in 51 games for Sampdoria but his goalscoring record has not put off interest from some of Europe’s top clubs.
The 25-year-old was seen as one of the next best strikers in the world when he was at Udinese but he never hit the heights that he promised to at such a young age.
