Napoli are chasing Tottenham midfielder Wilson Palacios.
The London Evening Standard says Palacios has become a target for Italian club Napoli as Tottenham seek to streamline their squad for next season.
Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri is a huge admirer of the Honduran midfielder and the club's sporting director, Riccardo Bigon, is thought to have met Palacios's representatives this week to discuss a possible deal.
Having qualified for next season's Champions League, Napoli are keen to strengthen their squad and have also targeted Sampdoria's Angelo Palombo to reinforce central midfield.
Napoli are unlikely to offer more than £7m for Palacios but sources in Italy also claim that Tottenham have shown an interest in Napoli's Argentine forward Ezequiel Lavezzi, meaning a player-plus-cash deal would be an option.
