Dries Mertens is being used by Napoli to persuade Marouane Fellaini to join the club from Manchester United.

Reports in England and Italy this week have linked with afroed midfielder with a switch from Old Trafford to Stadio San Paolo.

The former Everton man has endured a terrible first season with the former Champions League winners, becoming a figure of fun at the club for his poor performances and high price.

Fellaini cost United €30m last summer, and are looking for around €20m this time around, whilst Rafa Benitez's men are thought to be hoping for an initial one-year loan deal.

Sport Mediaset believe that the Partenopei are using their Belgium international in a bid to get the 26-year-old to leave the Premier League and come to Serie A.

It is suggested that Mertens has been constantly messaging Fellaini, telling him all about the club and Naples as a city.
