Leicester and Napoli battle for Defrel

Sassuolo forward Gregoire Defrel is on the radar of Leicester City and Napoli, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The 25-year-old joined the Neroverdi from Cesena a year ago and he did well to score 7 goals in 33 league outings during his debut season.

However, Defrel has been on fire this season, bagging 6 goals in his last 7 appearances for the club, and it is now clear that his excellent showings did not go unnoticed.

Several top Italian clubs, including Napoli, are believed to be keen on his services, while Premier League champions Leicester City have taken notice as well.

Should they decide to cash in on their prized asset, Sassuolo will have a chance to make a nice profit, having paid €7.5 million for the forward just over a year ago.

According to reports, Defrel is currently valued at €19 million, and the Frenchman could be worth more if he continues the rich vein of form.
