    Serie A side eye Arsenal goalkeeper

    Napoli are plotting a move for Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Mannone, according to sources in Italy.

    The Serie A side, whose current number one is 35-year-old Morgan De Sanctis, are looking for a goalkeeper for the future and have identified Mannone as one of their primary targets.

    Although the Italian has had the occasional extended run in Arsenal's first-team, he is very much behind Wojciech Szczesny in Arsene Wenger's pecking order.

    The 24-year-old, who spent parts of last season and 2010/11 on loan at Hull City, has managed just 15 Premier League appearances in six-and-a-half seasons at the Emirates Stadium and could be tempted by a return to his homeland.
