West Bromwich Albion have reportedly made an enquiry about the possibility of signing Napoli defender, Faouzi Ghoulam.

According to reports from TMW, Naples have made it clear that they are not willing to sell Ghoulam. However, they can consider an offer in the region of €20 million.

The 26-year-old has a contract with the Italian club till 2018, and Napoli are keen to hand him a contract extension.

Ghoulam is one of the key players for Napoli, and has been a consistent performer for the club over the past three seasons.

He made 29 Serie A appearances in 2016/17 where he registered six assists for the club.

It remains to be seen whether West Brom step up their efforts with a concrete offer, but they may face a strong competition from Liverpool.

Earlier this week, Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Liverpool are interested in signing the Algerian, and are expected to make a formal move in the coming days.

While West Brom can offer him regular football, he could be tempted by a move to a bigger club like Liverpool.
