Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe could make Napoli's clash with Sampdoria on Sunday.

Tuanzebe, after ending his loan with Aston Villa, has joined Napoli to the end of the season.

Corriere dello Sport says the defender is now waiting for the Italian consulate to process the final paperwork for his visa, and once that's completed he'll be able to join up with Luciano Spalletti's squad, making him available for Sunday evening's match against Sampdoria.

Tuanzebe made 11 appearances this season for Aston Villa, for a total of 685 minutes.

However, he lost his place after Dean Smith was sacked and replaced by Steven Gerrard.
