Ghoulam is a player that Conte knows well from his
time in Italy and the defender’s current contract
expires in the summer of 2018.
The report suggests that Napoli are keen to extend
terms with the forward-thinking full-back and are
concerned that a foreign suitor could turn his head.
Ghoulam has started 12 Serie A games this
season, in what is the fourth campaign the African
wideman has been on the Naples-based
company’s books.
Chelsea have Marcos Alonso as their first-choice
at left wing-back but there is not a recognised
alternative to the Spaniard in the position currently
with Baba Rahman out on loan at Schalke.
Conte is being tipped to look to his homeland for
potential recruits given his time in charge of
Juventus and the Italian national team.
