Tottenham Hotspur and other Premier League clubs have received a boost in the quest to sign Hellas Verona defender Marash Kumbulla.

Calciomercato reports the Spurs, Everton and Liverpool target has rejected an offer from Napoli.

Gennaro Gattuso's team are hoping to shore up their rearguard in the summer, but Kumbulla has turned down the move.

The Albania international may be holding out for a bigger club, which would tie in with interest from the Premier League.

The outlet claims a deal was done between the clubs, but the player reneged on the move.
