Napoli interested in Alexander Sorloth after £22m-rated Crystal Palace striker impressed during season on loan at Turkish club Trabzonspor

Napoli have registered interest in Crystal Palace striker Alexander Sorloth who has enjoyed an outstanding season on loan with Trabzonspor.

The Italians are willing to pay £22million for the Norwegian forward and are one of three leading European clubs alongside Wolfsburg and Fiorentina considering a permanent transfer.

It represents a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for Sorloth who joined Palace at the start of 2018 but was allowed to leave 12 months later by manager Roy Hodgson, first on loan to Genk and then to Turkey.
