West Bromwich Albion have made an approach for Napoli defender Faouzi Ghoulam, according to claims in the Italian media. With just 12 months remaining on the left back’s contract the Algeria international could move during the next window.
Subsequently West Brom have distanced themselves from a possible deal to sign Ghoulam, but Napoli still have a decision to make. Napoli have tried to get Ghoulam to commit himself to the club for longer than his current deal, and there’s still a possibility they’ll be forced to sell him before the deadline.
The Algerian will be able to speak to other clubs in the new year with regards to a pre-contract agreement, and Napoli risk losing him on a free next summer.
