Evan Ferguson is wanted by Napoli as speculation continues on the future of the Republic of Ireland international striker.
It is a complicated situation, with continuing and conflicting reports emanating through the current January transfer window.
The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Roma, with three Serie A goals and a further two Europa League strikes to his name this season.
He has endured a stop-start time in the Italian capital with significant performances disrupted by inconsistency and frustration.
The latter is an accurate description of the last week for the County Meath native after he scored and won the Man of the Match award in Roma’s 2-0 victory away to Lecce on January 6.
Evan Ferguson to miss Coppa Italia action this week
Full of verve and in form, Evan Ferguson was injured in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Sassuolo, when he was forced off before half-time.
Both goals came in the second half, without Ferguson, but Giallorossi boss Gian Piero Gasperini detailed that there is no significant long-term concern over the striker.
Ferguson is not expected to be involved in the Coppa Italia clash against Torino on Tuesday, but will he be a Roma player beyond this month?

Di Marzio reports Napoli want Ferguson
Several clubs are known to be monitoring the situation, while Brighton have acknowledged that Roma are in control.
Roma have not unequivocally confirmed that the striker will not be leaving the Stadio Olimpico this month, as they possibly continue to monitor their options, amid indecision on the Irishman’s future.
Now, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli are seriously considering a move for Evan Ferguson if he becomes available.
Brighton have already said that Roma are in control of the situation, so it remains to be seen if there will be any significant developments this month, resulting in the player moving on to a new club.
Napoli are preparing for the potential departure of the 25-year-old summer signing from Udinese, with Juventus and Benfica strongly linked.
Lucca has endured an underwhelming start to life in Campania to the extent that a quick sale and exit are on the cards.
Antonio Conte is said to be an admirer of Evan Ferguson, encouraged by his recent performances for Roma and the potential for further impact in Serie A.
