Napoli full-back Elseid Hysaj may well be coming to the Premier League this summer, if reports are to be believed.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are all keen on the 24-year-old who has played 41 times this season as the Naples club push Juventus all the way for the Serie A title.

According to Sportitalia’s Alfredo Pedulla, the Albanian international has a €50m release clause, which lets face it is the going rate for players these days.

Reportedly, Chelsea are the first of the English trio to have made their intentions clear and actually made contact with the player’s representatives.

They have supposedly already met with the Albanian’s agent Mario Giuffredi “several times” and consider him the perfect replacement for Davide Zappacosta, although they may well have forgotten about Victor Moses.

The Blues reckon he is “perfect” for the Premier Legue, but face competition from Liverpool and Man United, who are looking for a long-term replacement for Antonio Valencia with back-up Matteo Darmian strongly linked with a move back to Italy.

Right-back Hysaj has been something of a utility player this season, covering on the left as well after two serious injuries to Faouzi Ghoulam.
