Napoli interested in Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech?

Serie A giants Napoli have reportedly shown interest in Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech, who only arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer.

The Morocco international scored six goals and produced four assists for Chelsea this season, and played in 10 of the Blues' 13 Champions League games on their way to lifting the trophy in May.

However, like many of the new Chelsea signings the club brought in last summer, Ziyech has struggled to find the consistency that he showed for Ajax in the 2019-20 campaign when he scored nine goals and registered 20 assists for the Dutch giants.

According to football.london, Napoli are interested in signing the 28-year-old following the appointment of Luciano Spalletti as the new manager of the club.

Current Napoli wide players Lorenzo Insigne and Hirving Lozano's futures are in doubt and should either of them leave Napoli in the coming months, Ziyech is the preferred replacement.

Ziyech still has four years on his deal at Stamford Bridge after his £33m move from Ajax, but he only managed 23 starts from his 39 appearances for the club this season.
