Speculation is rife that Napoli are working on a deal to sign Real Madrid left-back Theo Hernandez

Marca and Corriere dello Sport first reported the story on Monday, and Gazzetta dello Sport has since picked it up.

It is understood Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti has already called the Frenchman and ‘promised’ him a first-team place.

The 21-year-old – younger brother of Bayern-bound Lucas Hernandez – joined Madrid from city rivals Atletico in the summer of 2017.
