Napoli make contact for AZ Alkmaar star Jesper Karlsson

Napoli have reportedly approached AZ Alkmaar for the signing of Jesper Karlsson.

According to a report by Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli have been following Jesper Karlsson for some time now and have come forward to secure a reinforcement in attack. Contacts are on between the two clubs.

The Partenopei are bracing for an event when a winger should leave and they will have to cover the part to not let any slip-ups during the season.

The Scudetto championsโ€™ scouts were present several times during Karlssonโ€™s games and the player has been in their radar since January. The Swedish winger scored nine goals and registered four assists in the Eredivisie last season and would make a perfect economical signing for the club. In the Conference League, he netted 2 goals and documented four assists in eight total appearances.

Lazio are also interested in bringing the 24-year-old to their team this window but they are yet to establish something concrete in their pursuit.ย
