Napoli winger Christian Maggio is on the radar of Tottenham, according to the player’s agent Massimo Briaschi.
The 29-year-old has been a key figure in the former Italian champions’ march for the Serie A title this season. The Italy international has scored three goals and provided four assists in 28 league appearances as Napoli find themselves second in the league standings, and his agent believes that he deserves a better contract.
“Maggio is appreciated both abroad and in Italy,” Briaschi told Radio Kiss Kiss. “After all, he does play in a special position. We are waiting for a sign from the club. We said we’d meet again with the directors, then nothing else came of it.
“We are here waiting. Christian is happy at Napoli and does not want to leave, even if he has offers from elsewhere. For example, Tottenham have looked at Maggio this season.”
Maggio joined Napoli from Sampdoria in 2008 and has a contract with the Naples-based club until June 2013.
