Napoli Close in on €15m Deal for Teenage Fenerbahce Midfielder Eljif Elmas

Napoli are close to completing the signing of Fenerbahce youngster Eljif Elmas, with an agreement likely to be finalised in the coming days, according to a report.

Elmas has been linked with a number of Serie A clubs this window including the likes of AC Milan and Inter, but it seems that the Naples club have stolen a march for the 19-year-old.

Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Napoli will have to pay a fee of around €15m for the Macedonia international - which will include add-ons.

Elmas burst onto the scene last season playing in a central midfield role, making 40 appearances in all competitions and scoring four goals.
