Napoli are interested in Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens and are considering several other targets as they look to strengthen in January.

Napoli are interested in 22-year-old Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens. According to Corriere dello Sport, head coach Massimiliano Allegri wants to strengthen his squad in January to improve the team's results.

The Englishman could leave Stamford Bridge. Roma tried to sign him in the summer, but Chelsea rejected a €43 million offer. Gittens is also a suitable option for Napoli in light of the registration rules for young players.

Napoli are considering other options too. Among their main targets is 21-year-old Monza forward Gustavo Varela, who leads the Serie A scoring charts with nine goals. The club have already contacted his representatives.

In midfield, Napoli are considering Sassuolo's Darryl Bakola and Monaco's Mamadou Coulibaly. The latter is considered a priority target, but his price of around €40 million could prove too high.

Financial constraints could lead Napoli to focus on loan deals. Noah Lang is expected to leave the club permanently in January, while Lorenzo Lucca is expected to depart on loan.
