Napoli on the Verge of Signing €15m Bordeaux and Senegal Full-Back

Italian side Napoli are reportedly close to signing Bordeaux and Senegal full-back Youssouf Sabaly for a fee of around €15m.

The defender played at left-back for Senegal throughout the World Cup, playing in all three of their group games, but is better known as a right-back for Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via Football Italia, the two clubs have agreed a €15m fee for the player, although the Italian side are hoping for a lower price due to the 25-year-old's problem with his medial collateral ligament in his knee.
