Napoli eyeing Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen

Napoli are eyeing Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen.

Sky Italia says Napoli are interested in signing Vertonghen if their star centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly moves on in January.

Vertonghen's contract expires at the end of the season and he is now free to speak to foreign clubs.

It emerged in Naples on Friday that Tottenham and Chelsea have been in contact with Koulibaly's agents regularly in recent weeks.
