Before moving to Italy, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia represented Dinamo Batumi in the Georgian top-flight where he scored efficient 8 goals and provided 2 assists in 11 Erovnuli liga outings.

He joined the Italian outfit during the summer transfer window earlier this year and has already found the back of the net 5 times and assisted for 5 goals in 10 Serie A appearances. Many are of the belief that he can succeed the lineage of elite Forwards coming from the Italian top-tier.

Players like Zinedine Zidane, Alessandro Del Piero, Mohammad Salah, Dusan Vlahovic, Ciro Immobile, Lautaro Martinez, Victor Osihmen and many more have proved their mettle in the Serie A and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is believed to follow their steps in future.

His contribution has immensely helped Napoli in Serie A as well as in the UEFA Champions League. The Italian outfit are currently on top of the Serie A points table and they are also highly favorites top finish the UCL group stages at the summit.

The 21-year-old possesses raw talent who is fond of dribbling past the full backs using his sheer pace. The 21-year-old winger is highly effective, but his miscontrol rate of 2.8% per 90 minutes, dispossession rate of 3.4% per 90 minutes are actually higher than his number of completed dribbles 2.4% per 90. His daunting pace and reluctance to look up is the main reason behind it as the Georgian international frequently charges down the wing at such a breakneck pace that even he is unable to restrain his own elation.

Elite European outfits like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain have all sent scouts to see his progress as they will be eyeing a move for him next summer. However, with Napoli securing his services until 2027, it will be a tough job for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s suitors to lure him as Gli Azzuri are preparing to offer him a new and improved contract.

It may be best for clubs to wait a little longer to see if the forward can keep up this kind of impressive play, but it comes as no surprise that the Napoli star is suddenly catching the attention of Europe’s top teams. However, in a recent interview with Georgia’s sport outlets, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia said that it is a “dream” for him to play for Real Madrid.

I dreamed of playing for a big club growing up, that was Real Madrid, but Napoli is a big club – my dream has already come true. I am not sure, let’s see what happens”
