Napoli will try again to sign a dynamic wing-back in January, and Junior Dina Ebimbe and Wilfried Singo are high on their shortlist, in addition to Jackson Tchatchoua. They came close to adding the Eintracht Frankfurt man in the summer, Radio Kiss Kiss informs (via OneFootball).
The Partenopei offered a loan with a €12M option to buy, but the counterparty played hardball. Victor Osimhen not leaving before deadline day muted their firepower. Moreover, the Bundesliga side wanted a more definitive formula. The 23-year-old has yet to play this campaign as he could have left late in the window. He transferred to Germany from PSG in 2022, getting redeemed for €6.5M after a temporary spell. He has logged 13 goals and 6 assists in 73 matches in the past two seasons.
Napoli will lodge another bid for Ebimbe in the next transfer market session, but they are also monitoring other options, like the Verona star and Singo. The latter left Torino and Serie A to join Monaco for €9M last year. He has tallied 27 appearances in Ligue 1, often playing as a center-back in a three-man defense.
The Ivorian international had his best campaign in Italy in 2021/2022, scoring thrice and providing four helpers. The Granata cashed in on him as they couldn’t reach an agreement to renew his contract.
Our Take on Napoli, Ebimbe, and Singo
The fact that they didn’t onboard anybody leaves all the options on the table. All the rumored ones fit the mold of what they are looking for: a young contributor who plays with intensity and has great stamina. Therefore, the choice will come down to price tags, salaries, and formulas.
