A latest revelation by Dean Jones has suggested that those within the Newcastle camp feel Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would fit like a glove at the club.
Recently, it was reported by the Times that Eddie Howe was keen on bolstering his attack, as the Magpies were targeting a switch for the Napoli sensation.
Further details also claimed that he was valued at £50 million by Luciano Spalletti’s side.
The Georgian sensation has emerged as one of the most in-form wide forwards in Europe this season, with even Jurgen Klopp describing him as “really good” when his side faced the wonderkid. (via Liverpool Echo).
With 5 goals and 6 assists in Serie A, the 21-year-old has been flying for the league leaders.
While the youngster only has two goals in the Champions League, the eye-test is a better reflection of just how devastating he has been in the competition.
Kvaratskhelia’s searing pace, excellent dribbling and incredible directness makes him one of the most entertaining players to watch in Europe.
Newcastle camp believe Kvaratskhelia would be a top signing
Dean Jones suggested that those within the Newcastle camp are huge admirers of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and back him to be a brilliant addition.
“There are certainly some people within the club that see him as a great fit for what they’re building”, he told Give Me Sport.
Jones continued, “I’m sure they would love to have him but this is one of the most coveted players in Europe. “
“To be honest, I don’t think he’ll be leaving yet, so that’s going to be one issue.”

The prospect of Kvaratskhelia and Saint-Maximin on either wing in Howe’s counter-attacking system would be a nightmare for every defence in the Premier League.
