Report: Napoli near Jose Callejon capture

Napoli have reportedly emerged as the favourites to sign Real Madrid winger Jose Callejon.

The 26-year-old, who is believed to be valued in the region of £8.5m, struggled to break into Madrid's first team last season due to loss of form and injury.

A number of clubs have since been linked with his services, but according to the Corriere dello Sport, Napoli are the favourites to acquire his signature before the start of the new season.

It is believed that Callejon favours a move to Serie A ahead of the Premier League, where there has also reportedly been interest.
