Napoli could be about to launch a shock move for Brighton forward Neal Maupay according to the Telegraph.

The Seagulls rate Maupay at £40million after his successful debut Premier League campaign having scored seven goals this season.

The French-born striker hit the back of the net 28 times in all competitions last season for Brentford.

Graham Potter's side could also lose another forward as Newcastle and Aston Villa have made enquiries for Glenn Murray.

Striker Murray has struggled for regular game time at Brighton following the summer arrival at the Amex of Neal Maupay and emergence of exciting youngster Aaron Connolly.

And the 36-year-old’s situation has alerted Newcastle and Villa, who are both in need of reinforcements up front.

Newcastle’s big summer signing, £40million Joelinton, has scored just once in 22 appearances so far this season.

Villa, meanwhile, lost their major striker signing Wesley to a season-ending knee injury last week.

Murray would represent a cut-price potential solution for both clubs.
