Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos is reportedly attracting strong interest from Napoli this summer.
The Brazilian ace had a good breakout season with the Blues last term, but his future remains uncertain.
Santos would like a guaranteed starting role, which may not be certain under new manager Xabi Alonso.
Alonso has personally urged the Blues to land Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka at any cost this summer.
The club have failed with an opening bid of eight million pounds, but are expected to return for the Swiss.
If Chelsea were to sign the experienced ace, it could prompt Santos to seek a new challenge elsewhere.
Napoli are one of the clubs with a keen interest in the 22-year-old.
Arsenal have also been linked with him via Brazilian outlets, but they are not exploring a move for now.
The Gunners have their sights on landing Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes for a premium fee.
They could be prepared to pay around £65m for the 28-year-old.
