Napoli have reportedly entered the chase for Saint-Etienne centre-back Kurt Zouma.
The 19-year-old has become one of Europe's most highly sought-after defenders since breaking into Les Verts' first team two years ago.
A number of clubs across the continent have been linked with moves, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.
However, talkSPORT reports that the Partnopei have added their name to that list with the January transfer window fast approaching.
Zouma was recently hit with a 10-match ban for a horror tackle on Thomas Guerbert, which left the Sochaux midfielder with a double leg break and a dislocated ankle.
