Napoli are monitoring Tom Atcheson, a Northern Irish and English defender for Blackburn Rovers, who recently signed a new long-term contract despite growing interest from top teams. The Serie A club and fellow Italian side Atalanta are tracking the 19-year-old. There is also interest from the Bundesliga, where RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are following his progress. In England, Manchester United are watching Atcheson's development, while Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Everton, Brentford, and Brighton & Hove Albion have all assessed him in recent weeks. The defender has one cap for Northern Ireland. This season, he has made 8 appearances in the Championship and 9 in Premier League 2.
