Aston Villa or West Ham would be an ideal destination for Napoli’s Hirving Lozano this summer if he were to leave the Italian champions.

That’s according to his former advisor Alessandro Monfrecola, who believes either of the Premier League teams would make sense for the Mexican.

Lozano has been linked with a move away from Napoli again this summer, with his current contract set to expire in 2024 and him yet to sign an extension.

That means Napoli could be forced into a sale to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year, if a new contract isn’t agreed between both parties.

Lozano has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, with clubs in England having watched him since he was impressing for PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

Monfrecola can see a switch happening this summer if he leaves Napoli and believes either Aston Villa or West Ham would make plenty of sense for his former client.

“West Ham’s proposal for Lozano? I believe that if Lozano leaves Napoli he will do so for an English club,” he said.

“The rumours coming from Mexico tell me that there is interest from English clubs. I think Aston Villa or West Ham will be the solution for Lozano.

“He’s had a year below his expectations, so such a large salary in De Laurentiis’ view is not good.

“When Raiola died, he was one of the few to change agency, moving towards an agency developed towards buying and selling in England, this is his dream, the boy’s signal is clear. He is fine in Napoli, but his dream is to play in the Premier League.”
