Arthur Masuaku has reportedly emerged as a possible transfer target for Napoli.

Foot Mercato claim the DR Congo international is interesting the Serie A giants, who have already made contact with the player’s representatives.

Masuaku has been with the Hammers since the summer of 2016, and has made a total of 86 appearances for the club so far.

The left-back, who signed from Olympiacos, has turned out 11 times in all competitions in 2019/20, with Aaron Cresswell proving to be strong competition.

Masuaku only signed a new deal with the club last summer, meaning the club are in a strong position should they enter negotiations with Napoli.

Having arrived for just £6.2 million (BBC Sport), the Hammers stand a great chance of making a profit on the 26-year-old, who is also wanted by Marseille.

Whether David Moyes and the board would want to lose the £40,000-a-week Masuaku (Spotrac) mid-season is another thing though.

The club are currently on course for a relegation battle, and the focus will surely be on keeping the squad together and making signings.
