Man City scout confirms interest in Napoli trio

Manchester City's chief scout Carlo Cancellieri has revealed that the club is highly interested in Napoli trio Marek Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani.

The threesome performed well when the two clubs met in the Champions League in September and ahead of next week's return meeting in Naples, Cancellieri has confirmed City's interest.

"I confirm the interest of Manchester City in Hamsik, Lavezzi and Cavani, and I think that this should only please the Napoli fans," Cancellieri told Radio Crc.

"Napoli are a growing team who do not want to sell their best players. The strength of Napoli is the very soul and compactness of the group.

"Cavani in particular has always been my 'bullet', a player I like a lot. Other than (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic, Cavani is the most incisive attacker in Serie A. And his agent knows well Manchester City's appreciation for his client."
