The 31-year-old has spent six seasons with Napoli since his move from Spanish giants Real Madrid, amassing 257 appearances for the Italian side.

Callejon has managed 57 Serie A goals in his six seasons at Napoli, only missing out on double figures in one season.

The experienced forward could be a replacement for Willian, who is being heavily linked with a big-money move to Barcelona.
