MANCHESTER CITY outcast Oleksandr Zinchenko is open to joining Napoli in January.

That’s according to his agent, who claims the versatile winger is desperate to quit England for regular football elsewhere.

Zinchenko looked to have a promising future at the Etihad after filling in at left-back last season.

The 21-year-old made 14 appearances in all competitions after Benjamin Mendy’s injury opened the door for first-team opportunities.

But Zinchenko has only featured twice so far in the new season after being strongly linked with a summer move to Wolves.

And he is now ready to take his chances in Naples after the Italians also tried to strike a deal in the last transfer window.

Agent Alan Prudnikov told Radio Marte: “We are always open to proposals coming from Italy.

“Napoli showed interest both over the summer and the year before, but never managed to find an agreement with Manchester City.

“I met with [Napoli director Cristiano] Giuntoli and we laid down the foundations of a deal with Zinchenko.

“But the two clubs could not agree a fee. We’d be ready to discuss it again, though.”
