Napoli are chasing Uruguayan superkid Abel Hernandez.

Corriere dello Sport says Hernandez is Napoli sports chief Pierpaolo Marino's No1 target ahead of the winter market. The 17 year-old striker is tipped to be a bigger talent than Palermo's Edison Cavani and is already leading the line for Uruguay's U20 team.

Hernandez is also a regular for his club side, Central Espanol, and Marino is desperate to snap him up before bigger clubs start sniffing around and drive up his asking price.
