Serie A champions Napoli have expressed interest in Genk and Nigeria international Tolu Arokodare.

According to Romano, Napoli shifted their attention to Arokodare after Romelu Lukaku suffered a muscle injury
during a pre-season encounter.
The injury means Lukaku will be out of action for the early part of the new campaign.
Now Romano is stating that Napoli are in the transfer market to strengthen their forward line, with Arokodare emerging as a top target.
