Napoli are considering a move for Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens ahead of the January transfer window, [according to Corriere dello Sport](https://m.corrieredellosport.it/amp/news/calcio/serie-a/napoli/2026/11/10-152500818/da_gittens_a_varela_fino_a_coulibaly_tutti_i_nomi_del_calciomercato_del_napoli_allegri_spera).
The Italian giants are looking to reinforce their attack in the next transfer window following their poor start to the season. They sit 10th in the [Serie A standings](https://footballtoday.com/seriea-table/), 14 points adrift of table-toppers Lazio.
Napoli are prepared to add more quality into their squad, with Gittens emerging as one of their targets.
The Parthenopeans could face competition from AS Roma for the signature of the England youth international.
Napoli could make a loan offer for Gittens rather than pursue an outright purchase, given their financial constraints.
The 22-year-old has endured a difficult time since moving to Chelsea, scoring just one goal and providing five assists in 29 games across all competitions.
He has yet to make any appearance in the Premier League this season, but featured twice in the League Cup before the Blues were knocked out of the competition by Liverpool.
The attacker is unlikely to get playing time under manager Xabi Alonso, with the Spaniard preferring to play without a traditional winger.
He is also currently sidelined with an ankle injury, making it more difficult for him to fight for a starting spot.
Roma could be a better destination for the young winger. Gian Piero Gasperini has a better reputation for improving attackers than Max Allegri, who is also known for his pragmatic style.
Donyell Malen is the latest forward to improve under Gasperini after a tough time at Aston Villa.
Gittens could also benefit from playing under the Italian coach if he joins Roma.
