Tottenham Enter Race to Sign Villarreal Star Pablo Fornals Amid Interest From Arsenal and Napoli

Tottenham Hotspur have expressed their interest in signing Villarreal midfielder Pablo Fornals after the Spaniard was linked with a move to Serie A side Napoli.

The 23-year-old has been one of the stand-out players in what has been a below-par season for the Yellow Submarine, scoring four goals and providing four assists for his teammates in all competitions.

Fornals, who moved to Villarreal two years ago in a £10.8m deal from Malaga, has represented his country at senior level, making his debut in 2016 before being called up for a second time last November.

According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Napoli have identified the attacking midfielder as a possible replacement for Marek Hamsik, who left Gli Azzurri for Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang earlier this month with Arsena also thought to be interested.
