It is almost a foregone conclusion that Swiss - Nigerian striker Innocent Emeghara will play for a Serie A club next season, Italian transfer market portal Tuttomercatoweb.com is reporting.

Emeghara's loan agreement with Siena ran out at the end of the season. And if not because the Tuscany based outfit was demoted, the 24 - year - old attacker would have been purchased outright from Lorient.

Sampdoria are in advanced negotiations over the signing of Innocent Emeghara and are apparently willing to cough out 4 million euros as his transfer fee.

He has also been linked with Lazio, Fiorentina and Napoli in the summer transfer market.
