The Nigeria international, who has netted 13 goals in 22 matches across all competitions for Napoli this season while also providing four assists, has a €110m (£94m/$119m) release clause in his existing contract.

For now, the striker remains focused on the Italian side and will be next seen in action for them on Friday when they take on Torino in Serie A.
