Jean-Michael Seri is in talks with Napoli, the player's agent has confirmed, but Chelsea and Arsenal remain interested - Sky sources understand.

Seri's agent, Franklin Mala, said his client - who currently plays for French side Nice - is "tempted by wearing the jersey" of Napoli.

It is understood the managerial situation at Chelsea remains uncertain and could prove a stumbling block to any move for Seri.

Arsenal are looking at several players, and their interest in Seri is through head of football relations Raul Sanllehi, who almost signed Seri last summer when he was working for Barcelona.

Manchester City are keeping tabs on Seri's situation, according to Sky sources, as the Premier League champions continue to try to push through a deal for Napoli midfielder Jorginho.
