Napoli linked to Zouma, N’Koulou

Napoli are keeping close tabs on Ligue 1 stars Kurt Zouma and Nicolas N’Koulou, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The Azzurri are determined to sign a central defender among other players in January and they have been linked with a host of footballers from top European leagues.

But, while their interest in Daniel Agger seems to have cooled off, Napoli are still keen on Saint Etienne starlet Kurt Zouma.

The Azzurri could be making a move on the 19-year-old as early as January, even though the youngster was recently slapped with a ten-match ban for breaking an opponent’s leg.

Meanwhile, they are also showing interest in Marseille stopper Nicolas N’Koulou, who is clearly nearing a move away from the club.

The latest reports are enough to suggest Napoli have turned to more realistic targets and no doubts both Zouma and N’Koulou would be tempted with a switch to Stadio San Paolo.
