Premier League clubs on alert as Simeone seeks Napoli exit


Giovanni Simeone wants to leave Napoli in the January transfer window - putting Premier League clubs wanting a striker on watch.

It is understood the Argentina international is planning to ask for an exit when he holds talks with his club in the next few days.

That move is certain to alert clubs from across Europe, including in the Premier League, where a number of teams have tracked his progress since his days at Hellas Verona.

Simeone has provided competition and cover for Victor Osimhen since joining Napoli in 2022, scoring 11 goals in all competitions as they won Serie A last season for the first time since 1990.

But minutes have been few and far between this season, with Simeone starting four times in all competitions.
