Napoli close to deal for Brazilian teenager

Xinhua, December 21, 2016 Adjust font size:

Napoli are close to signing highly rated Brazilian teenager Leandrinho, according to media reports on Tuesday.

The 18-year-old has traveled to Naples to sign a five-year deal with the Italian Serie A club, Globo Esporte said.

Leandrinho's contract with Ponte Preta expires within weeks, meaning the Brazilian club has minimal bargaining power in the deal, the newspaper said.

The striker has represented Brazil 16 times at under-17 level, scoring 11 goals.

Napoli are currently third in Italy's Serie A championship with 10 wins, four draws and three losses so far this season. Endit
