Napoli are ‘trying to speed up’ their move for Brighton defender Leo Ostigard so they can complete their squad as soon as possible.
That’s according to Gazzetta Dello Sport, who say the ‘documents are being finalised’ on the transfer.
According to their information, the defender could arrive in Trentino at the beginning of next week to undergo a medical and then start training with his new team in Abruzzo at Castel di Sangro.
Napoli have been chasing the Brighton man for several weeks as they look to bolster their squad.
The Italians have had an agreement with the player for some time but only managed to secure a deal with Brighton earlier this week.
It seems they are now pushing ahead to get things over the line as soon as possible, perhaps motivated by Koulibaly’s departure.
That’s left a hole in their defence that needs to be filled, with Ostigard and several other defenders now being targeted for the new era.
