Italian sides Napoli and Fiorentina are reportedly among the clubs interested in signing Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe before the European transfer window closes.

Napoli and Fiorentina are reportedly interested in signing Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe.

The 23-year-old has struggled to establish himself since moving to the Vitality Stadium in 2016, starting just nine Premier League games last season for Eddie Howe's men.

The Daily Mail reports that the Italian giants are now considering a move for the winger before the European transfer window closes on September 2.

The report also suggests that any deal will hinge on the fitness of recent Bournemouth signing Arnaut Danjuma, who is currently undergoing scans after possibly aggravating a foot injury in training.

Should the Dutch winger be out for any substantial period of time, Cherries boss Howe would only have three fit wingers at his disposal, thereby reducing the likelihood of the former Liverpool man being allowed to leave.

Scottish champions Celtic and Spanish side Espanyol are also believed to be interested in making a move for the former England youth international Ibe.
