Napoli are in the thick of talks to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Dembele in the winter transfer window, it has been claimed.
Dembele has been consistently linked with Napoli, but the Serie A side have not been able to steal him away from White Hart Lane despite their admiration for his talents.
However, they are now closer than ever to snapping up the Belgium international, according to Italian daily Tuttosport.
Indeed, it is claimed that Napoli are in talks with Spurs over a €14m deal to take the midfielder to Italy when the transfer window swings back open.
Dembele struggled to hold down a regular first team spot with Spurs last term, but this season has made five appearances in the Premier League under Mauricio Pochettino.

The Belgian may be attracted to the idea of being a key man at Napoli, while moving to Italy would also present him with a fresh challenge.
Dembele is locked down on a contract with Spurs at White Hart Lane until the summer of 2017.
