As reported by Italian transfer market portal Tuttomercatoweb.com, Sampdoria are interested in the acquisition of Swiss - Nigerian forward Innocent Emeghara.

But the stumbling block is that Sampdoria may not be able to meet the valuation of the 24 - year - old attacker thought to be around four million euros.

Siena, where Innocent Emeghara played last season, have the option of first refusal and could purchase him outright from Lorient for a fee of approximately three million euros.

Lazio, Fiorentina and Napoli are also in the running to secure the signature of Emeghara this summer.
