Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici is targeting Napoli captain Lorenzo Insigne.

Insigne's deal with Napoli expires next June and he is unhappy with the renewal offer proposed by the Serie A side.

Local journalist Fabio Santini on 7 Gold's programme, Il Processo, revealed: “The closest team to Lorenzo Insigne is Tottenham. Their executive, Fabio Paratici is courting him closely.

“Aurelio De Laurentiis is not bothered, quite the contrary. The patron believes the English one could be the right solution because Il Magnifico would leave Italy and, consequently, would not join a rival Serie A club.

“Antonio Conte is crazy about Lorenzo Insigne and would like the player as early as January… Lorenzo Insigne, of course, is flattered by the interest of both Conte and Tottenham, but he is undecided.

“He would not want to break up with Napoli during the current season. There have been meetings with Inter and Juventus, but Tottenham is the club closest to the player."
