Report: Tottenham defender Vlad Chiriches undergoing medical ahead of Napoli move

Miguel Britos out, Vlad Chiriches in for Napoli.

The Serie A club is reportedly on the verge of replacing the former with the latter, with Sky Sports claiming the Romanian defender is in Italy to complete a medical with Napoli ahead of formalising the transfer.

Chiriches has spent the past two seasons rotting on the bench with Tottenham after joining Spurs from Steaua Bucharest. He'll provide a direct replacement for Britos, who jettisoned for Watford earlier in July.

Matt Law of The Telegraph reports Napoli, which missed out on Champions League qualification on the last day of the 2014-15 season, will fork out £4.5 million for the 25-year-old's services.
