·Napoli appear to have won the chase for Abdelilah Saber, ending speculation that the Sporting Lisbon player would head for West Ham or Southampton.
Napoli have already signed Jose Vidigal from Sporting this summer, but they have returned to the club to reach an agreement over Saber.
It had been thought that the club had dropped their interest in the player, but an about-turn has seen a year's loan deal struck, with the option of a permanent switch in 2001.
Saber is expected to finalise the terms of his contract within the next week.
