Napoli have launched a move for Brighton defender Leo Ostigard.

The Norway international has spent the past season on-loan with Genoa, though couldn't prevent them from being relegated.

Despite the team's struggles, Ostigad enjoyed an impressive campaign and has attracted interest from Napoli.

Sky Italia says Napoli are moving for the defender this week.

The Azzurri see him as a replacement for Axel Tuanzebe, who has been sent back to parent club Manchester United after a disappointing loan spell.
