Kalidou Koulibaly wants to leave Napoli with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City interested, Area Napoli claims.

Tottenham could look to bring in Koulibaly to bolster their defence. Jose Mourinho is already looking at potential reinforcements after conceding more than one goal in his first several matches in charge.

Koulibaly asks to leave

Koulibaly has consistently proven his defensive ability over the past few seasons in both Serie A and the Champions League. The 28-year-old has now reportedly asked to leave Napoli as he wants a new challenge.

The Premier League could be Koulibaly’s next destination. But Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has apparently set an asking price of more than £100m. This would be a tough task for Spurs to shell, especially in January, but some negotiating could be done.

Man City are the other team interested in Koulibaly. Pep Guardiola’s side have been in poor form in the past few weeks and are running out of time to catch Liverpool. But could Mourinho beat his old foe in this transfer race? Here are some Spurs fans tweeting about this latest piece of news.
