# Napoli ready to make Amavi move

Aston Villa defender Jordan Amavi is starting to attract interest from clubs across Europe and according to [the Birmingham Mail](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-transfer-rumour-jordan-12945671), Serie A giants Napoli are keen on a move for the left-back in the summer.

It is claimed that Amavi is one of a number of left-back options on Napoli’s list of transfer targets and that the Serie A side could make a bid for the Frenchman once the window opens.

Aston Villa chairman Dr Tony Xia claimed in January that the club had rejected a £25m bid from an unknown club for Amavi, which could quite possibly have been Napoli.

Amavi has made just 17 Championship appearances for Villa this season, with a few of those coming on the left side of midfield, rather than in defence.

The 23-year-old only featured ten times in the Premier League last season after a horror injury on international duty ruled him out for most of the season.

Marseille are also thought to be in the running, with Liverpool having previously been linked with a move for the full-back as well.
