Napoli eye Tylel Tati, the young Nantes centre-back
Compared with Leny Yoro, the 2008-born defender has played just two games this season and then suffered a meniscus injury with France.
Napoli are monitoring Tylel Tati, a Nantes centre-back born in 2008 who stands close to two metres tall, as Massimiliano Allegri looks to strengthen his defence ahead of the January window. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the comparisons with Leny Yoro come from his physique, pace and technical quality.
His rise was rapid. He made his Ligue 1 debut at 17 against Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain, before signing his first professional contract, and went on to win the Golden Kid Pro 2026 award for the best newcomer in French professional football. In April, Nantes tied him down with a contract until 2030.
This season has been harder. After the club were relegated to Ligue 2, he has only made two appearances and then suffered a meniscus injury while on international duty. He is still working on his recovery, and Napoli will keep a close eye on his physical progress.
