Jamie Vardy has emerged as a surprise target for Napoli.
The free agent and former England international has been taking his time considering offers with a number of top clubs showing interest.
Italian champions Napoli have now added the 38-year old to their list of options after Romelu Lukaku was ruled out for three months with injury. Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson is another target but could prove too expensive.
Vardy left Leicester City at the end of the season after a glittering spell that saw him score 200 goals in 500 appearances and win the Premier League and FA Cup.
His fitness, professionalism and mentality mean he is still an attractive proposition to top tier sides despite his advancing years.
Celtic, Rangers and Everton are among the other sides to have shown levels of interest in recent weeks.

Vardy's wife Rebekah may have dropped a couple of clues of the shock development last month when she showed off her impressive physique in a figure-hugging nude dress while stopping in Italy during a family holiday in Portugal.
The WAG, 43, has shared a host of snaps from her getaway with Jamie, where they've been joined by his footballing pals Harry Maguire and James Maddison.
Jamie and Rebekah had been enjoying a few weeks at their £9.7million villa in the Algarve.
Earlier this month, Rebekah set the internet ablaze with speculation over her husband next club after a playful social media post. She posted an image of three of their children wearing each of Inter Miami's kits on Instagram.
The WAG accompanied the playful post with a 'smiling face with sunglasses' emoji.
Rebekah's post had many convinced that the England international is set to join a star-studded roster led by Lionel Messi, that includes his former Barcelona team-mates Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, as well as his Argentina colleague Rodrigo De Paul.
But a source close to the club has poured cold water on the possibility, telling Daily Mail there is 'absolutely no way' Vardy is joining the MLS outfit.
'No one at Inter Miami will have heard of him, they just signed Rodrigo de Paul who won the World Cup with Argentina,' they added.
'It was nice of them to buy the kits though.'
Napoli have previously asked about Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund and Liverpool's Darwin Nunez and that was prior to Lukaku's injury.
The 32-year old Belgium international may need surgery after tearing a thigh muscle in his left leg against Olympiacos during a friendly last week.
