The London club are interested in bringing in an attacker and have identified the Belgian international as a target (h/t Sky Sports).
The 32-year-old will be out of contract in the summer, meaning he would be available for a significantly lower fee this month.
Italian giants Inter Milan are also interested in the player, who is set to cost around £5million.
Mertens is a versatile attacker and can play anywhere in the frontline. The Belgian’s set-piece abilities would also be an added benefit for us.
He has made 22 appearances for Napoli this season and has scored nine goals and five assists. (h/t Whoscored)
Mertens joined Napoli in 2013 and has turned into a crucial player for the Italians. He has played 300 times for the ‘Gli Azzurri’ and has scored 118 goals. (h/t Whoscored)
The Belgian was part of the Napoli squad that won the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italia in 2014.
The 32-year-old has scored 18 times in 86 games for the Belgian national squad. He also won the Belgian player of the year in 2016.
