Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe is set to move on loan to Napoli until the end of the season.
Napoli are currently third in Serie A and view Tuanzebe as defensive cover with Kalidou Koulibaly set to join Senegal for the African Cup of Nations.
The 24-year old defender spent the first half of the season at Aston Villa but his spell wasn't as successful as his first loan move to the Birmingham club. Since Steven Gerrard took over as manager Tuanzebe has played just eight minutes of football.
The deal is expected to be finalised imminently, although it is unlikely that the player will make his debut this weekend as Napoli travel north to Turin to face Juventus in the league for a crucial game.
Axel Tuanzebe to Napoli close to agreement. Straight loan deal with @ManUtd to end of season.
