Italian side Napoli could make a move to sign Adnan Januzaj this summer, with West Ham are also keen on the Belgian international following his departure from Real Sociedad this month.
According to Il Mattino, the UEFA Champions League side are monitoring the 27-year-old winger following his departure from Real Sociedad, with Januzaj no longer attached to a club and able to talk to any side he wants ahead of his latest career move.

Calciomercato have previously reported that West Ham are also interested in Januzaj, with David Moyes a huge fan of the attacker as the Scotsman was the manager who handed the forward his debut with Manchester United that kicked off a media frenzy.
Januzaj came through United’s academy and scored a brace on his debut for the Red Devils as the winger established himself as the next big thing for the Manchester giants. Though as we know, the attacker’s hype quickly died down following inconsistent performances.
Hailed as ‘very special’ by ESPN journalist David Cartlidge, Moyes has long been an admirer of Januzaj throughout the years, with the Scottish manager even once comparing the attacker to Wayne Rooney in regards to how much talent the winger has.
Indeed, whilst Januzaj had a solid career with Sociedad, Napoli could fancy themselves as favourites to sign the Belgian this summer, with West Ham, so far, not looking likely to make a move for the 27-year-old despite previous interest in the former La Liga star.
Napoli could sign Januzaj right from under West Ham’s noses
At 27, Januzaj is hitting the peak of his career, and whilst West Ham’s interest could resurface in the coming weeks, Napoli currently have a golden chance to sign the winger right from under the east London side’s noses.
Indeed, Luciano Spalletti’s side will be keen to add quality additions this summer, and Januzaj fits the profile for what Napoli are looking for in the coming weeks, with West Ham also eager to sign attackers this transfer window.
