Napoli have joined the battle for Arsenal teen Marcus McGuane.

The Gunners are under pressure to keep hold of the youngster, who has been linked with Juventus and Manchester United this week.

It's emerged Napoli chief Cristiano Giuntoli is also in contact with McGuane's representatives about pursuing his pro career in Naples.

The England U18 captain is off contract and has refused to consider new terms offered by the Gunners.

Unlike United, both Napoli and Juve will be able to sign McGuane for chump change thanks to FIFA's compensation laws.
