Tottenham were reportedly very close to launching a €40 million move to sign long-term Chelsea target Amadou Diawara this summer.
Reports in Italy from Calciomercato claim that Spurs were very keen to bring him to London, but new Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti was refusing to sell.
Ancelotti is said to be a huge admirer of the player and even tried to sign him whilst at Bayern Munich, so he was keen to not miss out on the chance to work with the player.
Diawara, who is very highly thought of in Italy, has long been linked with a move to Chelsea.
Spurs themselves had earmarked the player as a replacement for Moussa Dembele, who is being linked with a move away from the club.
Diawara was one of the many Napoli players to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge over the summer, despite playing a fringe role under Maurizio Sarri during his time at the club.
The young midfielder is one seen as one for the future but is set for a key role in the Napoli first team going forward.
