Despite that, Alfredo Pedulla continues to maintain the forward will join the Coppa Italia winners, having agreed personal terms a month ago.

Sky Sport Italia, meanwhile, reports the Nigeria starlet and his representatives are expected in Naples later today for talks with Partenopei officials.

As for Gabriel, Tutto Napoli writes he will be the ‘heir’ to Kalidou Koulibaly, who has been linked with Premier League moves.

The 22-year-old had also attracted interest from Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton, as well as North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
