Napoli are linked with Aston Villa full-back Aly Cissokho, whose move to Milan famously collapsed because of his teeth.

The Partenopei need a replacement for Faouzi Ghoulam, who is due to leave on international duty with Algeria during the Africa Cup of Nations next month.

According to the Daily Mirror, the main target for Rafa Benitez is 27-year-old Villa man Cissokho.

He is not new to Serie A, having famously failed a medical to join Milan in 2009 because of his teeth.

The Rossoneri argued he needed intensive dental work to help prevent muscular injuries and correct his posture.

Cissokho was furious and said they were using this as an excuse to pull out of the transfer.
