Fulham Join Race to Sign Star Napoli Winger

Fulham Showing Interest in Napoli Star

Fulham are showing interest in a move for Napoli star Noa Lang this winter, according to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira on X.

The 26-year-old winger only headed to Naples last summer after ousting himself as one of the Eredivsie's best players with PSV in a two-year spell, but his name has been circulated as one potentially available for an early departure from Antonio Conte's side this January.

He has only started seven Serie A games this term, scoring once and assisting twice. Those two assists came in recent consecutive games, laying on a goal as a starter in a 2-2 draw with Verona and another from the bench in another 2-2 result against Inter Milan, showcasing the Dutch international's quality.

A move to the Premier League has been suggested as a possible destination for the former Ajax prospect, and Fulham are keeping tabs on his situation in Italy this winter ahead of potentially joining the race for his signature.

Lang Tipped for Premier League Switch

Noa Lang has long been renown for his abilities out on the left-flank, no matter which of his many former employers it was that he was performing for.

He spent eight years on the books with Feyenoord, split by one term in the academy with Besiktas, before joining Ajax as a 14-year-old back in 2014. He would make his breakthrough with them in the senior game, making nine Eredivisie appearances and scoring thrice before loans to FC Twente and Belgian side Club Brugge prompted a permanent exit to the latter.

After playing a starring role in Bruges, he would return to the Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven where he continued his hot-streak before joining Antonio Conte's reigning Serie A Champions, Napoli, to provide competition for the left-wing space vacated by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's departure to PSG.

However, things haven't quite worked out as intended for Lang in Italy, with Antonio Conte's three-back formation often seeing left wing-back Leonardo Spinazzola preferred out on the left-hand side. With Lang struggling to find a proper fit in Napoli's team, a potential early exit has been suggested for him with West Ham and Fulham of the English Premier League beginning to take stock in his services.

Napoli are one of the many clubs interested in Fenerbahce forward Youssef En Nesyri this winter, along with the likes of Everton and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, but will need to facilitate a sale for either Lang or Lorenzo Lucca to make way for his arrival, meaning Fulham might have a strong way in to securing a new star at Craven Cottage.
