Rubin Kazan winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia looks set for a huge future, and Tottenham Hotspur suddenly find themselves being linked with a move.
The Georgian talent has emerged as one of the top talents in Russian football and hit six goals as well as eight assists last season.
The 20-year-old has earned comparisons to Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, with his dribbling ability and technique on the ball attracting suitors.
Leeds United have been strongly linked, but Tottenham are now another name being added into the mix.
As noted by Milan News and Sempre Milan, Tottenham have joined AC Milan in the race to sign Kvaratskhelia, who would cost around €18million (£15.5million).
Tottenham just signed a young winger in Sevilla’s Bryan Gil, but Fabio Paratici may also fancy bringing in Kvaratskhelia given his enormous potential.
Gil is predominantly left footed, whereas Kvaratskhelia likes to cut inside from the left flank onto his right foot, so Paratici may see room for both players at Tottenham.
Fabrizio Romano has offered an update on the situation, claiming that Milan are not close to signing Kvaratskhelia even if they are interested in a deal.
Romano added that Kvaratskhelia is an ‘incredible’ player, and maybe Tottenham will be a name to keep an eye on for the wide man.
“At the moment, no,” said Romano. “Interest, yes, but nothing going on. But this guy, trust me, he is incredible, incredible,” he added.
