Napoli defender Faouzi Ghoulam has reportedly emerged as a January transfer target for Juventus.

Since January 2014, Ghoulam has made 135 appearances for Napoli in all competitions, but the Algerian international has less than a year remaining on his contract at the Serie A club.

That led to interest in the 26-year-old's signature throughout the summer, and although a transfer failed to materialise, it appears that three clubs are already considering another attempt to sign Ghoulam at the start of 2017.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus are confident of being able to tempt Ghoulam to make the switch to Turin instead of extending his stay in Naples.

Chelsea and Liverpool are also said to hold an interest in the full-back, but it has been suggested that Juventus are the frontrunners to get a transfer over the line.
