The Metro reports that rumours of a possible swap deal for Liverpool center back Daniel Agger and Napoli star Gokhan Inler are gathering momentum as the January transfer window nears its end.

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez has been heavily linked with a move for unsettled defender Daniel Agger this winter as he looks to reunite with the player he once managed during his days as Liverpool boss.

However, the Reds have expressed their desire to hold on to their Danish vice captain, who despite the lack of first team opportunities, is still considered a vital element of the Anfield squad.

The Italian giants are now looking to tempt the Merseyside club using talented Swiss midfielder Gokan Inler as bait, who has previously been on the radar of the Premier League outfit.

The success of such a deal rests entirely on the 29-year old Napoli playmaker, who will decide whether a move to the Premier League is in his best interests.
