Napoli are ready to increase their offer for Brighton midfielder Billy Gilmour after having an £8million bid rejected.
The 23-year old Scotland international, who has two years left on contract, is wanted by Antonio Conte and further discussions are expected this week with the Italians confident of reaching agreement.
Manager Conte worked with Gilmour at Chelsea, which is where the Scotsman made his breakthrough.
The midfielder has impressed at Brighton so far, where he made 32 appearances in the league last season.
Conte also wants to sign Romelu Lukaku again having previously enjoyed success with the striker at Inter Milan.
