Napoli eye Ake

Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake is a £35million target for Napoli.
Carlo Ancelotti has the 24-year-old Dutchman in his sights as a potential replacement for Raul Albiol.
The Cherries have slapped a £36million price tag on the head of the defender they signed from Chelsea in the summer of 2017.
But that has so not deterred Napoli who also have Tottenham’s Kieran Trippier - for whom the club are willing to listen to offers - in their sights.
Ancelotti is a big fan of Ake’s versatility and his ability to play the ball out from the back. The Holland international, who can play at left-back as well as centre-back, has 10 caps and played in all 36 of Bournemouth’s games over the past season.
Ancelotti is looking to reshape his side in order to launch a Serie A title challenge to champions Juventus next season.
Ake is also being sought by Ancelotti because 33-year-old Albiol has has been out for the last three months after undergoing surgery on a patellar tendon injury.
Napoli want to ensure they are covered in case he fails to recover ahead of next season or suffers any setbacks.
