Liverpool fear they could miss out on top January target Ricky van Wolfswinkel, with Napoli in pole position to land the Utrecht striker.
The talented Dutch striker is on Roy Hodgson's radar as he desperately scours the market for January reinforcements for his struggling squad.
Van Wolfswinkel first came to Hodgson's attention when Utrecht played Liverpool in the Europa League at the back end of last year and the 21-year-old's progress has been monitored ever since.
Hodgson was ready to press ahead with a bid for the Dutchman but talkSPORT has learned that Napoli are now ready to hijack the move and launch a bid of their own.
Utrecht were keen on creating a bidding war for van Wolfswinkel as they look to cash in on their star asset and Napoli's interest could spark Liverpool into action.
