Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Napoli’s Jose Callejon, according to reports

Reports in Italy claim the North London club are leading the race to secure the 28-year-old.

The former Real Madrid striker could be a target for Tottenham with Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado both rumoured to be leaving White Hart Lane this summer.

Adebayor has been linked with a loan move to Aston Villa whilst Soldado could be set to join Sevilla in a ÂŁ11million deal.

Napoli are reluctant to sell to the Spain international and Spurs manager Mauricio Pocchettino has been warned only a serious offer will tempt the Stadio San Paolo club.

Chelsea are also believed to be interested with the Premier League champions reportedly preparing a ÂŁ15.5million bid, however manager Jose Mourinho appears set on finding a replacement for Filipe Luis.

Mourinho interested in Stones

The Portugese coach has admitted The Blues do not need to make any marquee signings this summer and the only necessary signing is a replacement for Luis.

However, the former Inter, Porto and Real Madrid boss did confirm his interest in Everton’s John Stones with the Toffees reported to have rejected a £20million offer.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez was upset with the decision by the Stamford Bridge club to publicise their bid for the England international.

“There is the disappointment of a club making a statement to the press and making it openly, we are not a selling club” said Martinez.
