Chelsea target Hysaj looks set to stay at Napoli

The agent of Elseid Hysaj, Mario Giufreddi, has revealed that he is confident of Hysaj staying at Napoli and returning to top form under Carlo Ancelotti.

Manchester United and Chelsea have both been touted with interest in Hysaj, who has impressed for Napoli in recent years.

Chelsea are keen to strengthen their defensive options and have targeted Hysaj as a potential new right-back.

However, he looks set to snub interest from the Premier League and commit his future to Napoli in the Serie A.

Speaking to Calcio Mercato, Giufreddi said this:

Hysaj? I talked a few moments ago with his father, I really liked his approach: we know its value, there may be moments of fogging but I am convinced that it will return to the levels expressed even in recent years. He suffered a bit from the adaptation with Ancelotti, after a very good time with Sarri.

Hysaj has made over 100 Serie A appearances for Napoli since his move from Empoli in 2015 and is regarded as one of the best fullbacks in the division.

He has also been capped 37 times by his country Albania, and impressed in the 2016 European Championships.
