Il Corriere dello Sport has reported that Napoli are seeking to sign the PSV trio of Georginio Wijnaldum, Jeremain Lens and Dries Mertens. 

Napoli’s Sporting Director Riccardo Bigon has just returned from a mini trip to Holland where he was tasked with looking into these potential transfers.  The attacking midfielders are all coming off successful seasons with Lens and Mertens both having scored against Napoli in last years’s Europa League.  Dutch international Lens scored a total of 24 goals for club and country this past season while Belgium winger Mertens scored 20 goals and provided 25 assists.  22-year-old Wijnaldum, who has 22 goals in 55 league appearances, completes the all-Dutch wishlist.

Napoli’s recruitment policy is not limited to Eindhoven as the Italian sports paper indicates that they are also seeking Dutch international midfielder Leroy Fer from FC Twente.
