Napoli could be looking to make a move for Newcastle United's 25-year-old goalkeeper Tim Krul, according to a report.

It is believed that the Italian club are looking for a new shot-stopper to fill in the void left by the on-loan Pepe Reina, should he decide to move to Real Madrid.

The Mirror reports that Napoli coach Rafael Benitez sees Krul as his number one choice, although the same newspaper reported only a few weeks ago that Krul was happy at the Magpies.

Napoli currently sit in third position in Serie A.
