Roma are negotiating a deal with Napoli to sign Tottenham Hotspur linked full-back Elseid Hysaj.

Hysaj has been linked with a move away from Napoli since the January transfer window and is likely to leave the club ahead of the new season.  

 



A move to the Premier League has been mooted, with Tottenham believed to be keeping tabs on him as a replacement for Kieran Trippier, who joined Atletico Madrid this week.

But Hysaj could well remain in Serie A as Roma are in serious talks with Napoli to sign him, according to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport.
 


Napoli have been demanding a €20m fee for the Albania international, but Roma have been reluctant to pay such a figure for the full-back this summer.



Talks continue though and Roma are looking to make sure they take Hysaj to the Stadio Olimpico.

There is a willingness amongst all the interested parties to get the deal over the line and Hysaj could well be set to wear the Roma colours next season.
