Callejon-Inter-v-NapoliArsenal have become the latest side to be linked with making a move for Napoli’s Spanish forward Jose Callejon.

Callejon has been in exemplary form this season, and only in the last transfer window a €20 million bid from Spanish La Liga champions Atletico Madrid was swiftly rejected by Napoli head coach Rafa Benitez.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Gunners are now ready to make their move for the 27-year-old and they would be more willing to offer more than Atletico, however the Partenopei’s reluctance to let one of their prized assets leave will prove to be a major stumbling block.

The former Spain U21 international only joined the Neapolitan outfit from Real Madrid in 2013 and proved to be a major hit in his first season in the Italian game by scoring 20 goals. This season he has already found the net six times in his seven Serie A appearances.
