Report Napoli resume interest in forgotten Chelsea winger Sterling

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Napoli have resumed their interest in Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling.

Napoli have resumed their interest in Chelsea winger Sterling, according to the latest report of Corriere dello Sport.

The Chelsea winger has been frozen out at Stamford Bridge, and Napoli were already linked with securing his services in previous transfer windows.

Napoli are looking for attacking reinforcements in the January window and have already completed some smart deals with Premier League clubs in the past, including the signings of Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United, but also Frank Zambo Anguissa from Fulham in 2022.

Sterling returned to Chelsea last summer after a one-season loan spell at Arsenal and played his last competitive match in May.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli are also considering signing a new centre-forward, but only if Lorenzo Lucca leaves.

The Italian centre-forward has been sounded out by Benfica and Nottingham Forest, but Napoli are also considering a possible swap deal with Roma, including either Artem Dovbyk or Evan Ferguson.

The Partenopei sit third in the Serie A table and will visit leaders Inter at San Siro on Sunday.
