St Etienne youngster Aïmen Moueffek knows Wolves and Napoli keen

Saint Etienne youngster Aimen Moueffek is interesting Wolves and Napoli.

But! reports via Le 10 Sport that ASSE coach Claude Puel has largely ignored the 19 year-old this season, but Moueffek enjoys an excellent reputation across Europe.

Wolves and Napoli are watching Moueffek's situation closely and are willing to ferry him away from France this summer. Moueffek has a contract with ASSE to 2022

The player has not yet made a decision but the interest of both clubs is flattering for the youngster.

A talented right-sided fullback, Moueffek came through the ASSE academy - similar to summer departures William Saliba (Arsenal, now on-loan with Nice) and Wesley Fofana (Leicester City) - and is a France U18 international.

Puel handed Moueffek his first team debut earlier this season, but despite an outside clamour for more opportunities, the ASSE coach has held back the 19 year-old prospect.

Moueffek has a deal to 2022 with Saint Etienne and this season has managed 14 first team appearances.
