Napoli have reportedly made an approach for out-of-favour Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Alex Pritchard.

After playing just once for Spurs during the opening half of the season, Pritchard was loaned out to West Bromwich Albion but he also found games hard to come by at The Hawthorns as he made just three substitute appearances for the Baggies.

The 23-year-old has now returned to White Hart Lane but according to Sky Sports News, he has received surprise interest from Napoli, who finished in second place in Serie A last season.

Spurs are said to have placed an £8m price-tag on Pritchard's head with a number of Premier League sides also holding an interest in the winger.

Despite starting his career at Spurs, Pritchard has made just two substitute appearances in the top flight.
