Napoli are in negotiations for Real Sociedad’s versatile winger Mikel Oyarzabal, according to Sky Sport Italia.

The Partenopei have seen their January transfer targets vanish one by one, as Simone Verdi refused to leave Bologna mid-season, then today Amin Younes had to postpone his departure from Ajax until the summer due to family issues.

Sassuolo are refusing to sell Matteo Politano, so Napoli are seemingly moving on to another option.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio, negotiations are taking place tonight with Real Sociedad for Oyarzabal.

Only 20 years old, he came up through the Real Sociedad youth academy and this season has contributed eight goals with five assists in 24 competitive games.

His versatility is a big selling point for Maurizio Sarri, as Oyarzabal can play on the left wing, the right or even behind the strikers.
