Brighton defender Leo Skiri Ostigard is on the brink of signing for Napoli.

With Kalidou Koulibaly set to join Chelsea for €40m, the Serie A club have identified a readymade replacement in young Brighton defender Ostigard.

The 22-year-old Norwegian joined the Seagulls in 2018, but has yet to make a senior appearance for the south coast club; he has instead spent time away on loan at St Pauli, Coventry, Stoke and Genoa.

It's understood that Napoli officials were impressed by Ostigard's time in Serie A, and have submitted a bid to Brighton in the region of €3m - €4m.

His form on-loan last season with relegated Genoa has convinced Napoli to make their move.
