Reports from Il Mattino suggest that Napoli are back in the race to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. It had looked as though the 27-year-old Polish international was set for a move to Juventus but the journal states that with the Partenopei still unsure about the future of current number one Pepe Reina, Szczesny remains a primary choice for his replacement.
 

The Pole has spent the past two seasons on-loan at Roma and has really adapted to life in Italy whilst at the same time, becoming a much improved player. Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is aware that Juventus now have their eye on want away Milan star Gianluigi Donnarumma which could re-open the track towards Szczesny (if Reina decides to leave).
