SunSport understands the Hoops are closing in on a deal for Yamada, and the path has now cleared for a move to be finalised as he is no longer on international duty with Japan. But although the Hoops look set to land the Kawasaki Frontale hitman, the same can't be said for Ambrosino. The 21-year-old is closing in on a move to another club in Italy instead, according to reports in Italy.

It's said Ambrosino is one of four players that Napoli boss Antonio Conte has made available for transfer and has told sporting director Giovanni Manna to find another club for him. It's believed that Cagliari and Celtic are two other clubs looking at him but Cremonese are now leading the race. It was reported last week that Cremonese had tested the Italian champions' resolve with a £2.5million bid.

The report suggests that the Italian side are looking to sign BOTH players and are not just looking at one of them.
