Liverpool want Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and he impressed the Italian media with his performance against the Reds on Tuesday night.
The Reds were back in Champions League action on Tuesday night as they hosted Napoli at Anfield.
There wasn’t much riding on it; both Liverpool and Napoli had already qualified out of their group.
Liverpool wanted a home win though after losing to Leeds United last weekend and they get their three points.
Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez struck close-range goals to give Liverpool a 2-0 win.
Liverpool want Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Liverpool will be delighted to inflict Napoli’s first defeat of the season on them.
Luciano Spalletti’s side have been incredible this season and one of their key players has been winger Kvaratskhelia.
The Georgian ace joined Napoli over the summer and has made a stunning impact.
In 19 games across Serie A and the Champions League, Kvaratskhelia has racked up eight goals and eight assists.
The battle with Trent Alexander-Arnold was a fascinating one and it came amid rumours that Liverpool fancy him.
Calciomercato reported in October that Liverpool are battling Manchester City in the race to sign Kvaratskhelia.
Unleashing Kvaratskhelia, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah on Premier League defences would be simply ridiculous.
Napoli won’t want to sell but Liverpool fans will have been watching Kvaratskhelia to see what all the hype is about.
The Italian press were certainly impressed even though Tuttomercatoweb’s 6.5 rating doesn’t look all that great.
They described Kvaratskhelia as ‘extraordinary’ and raved about him nutmegging Alexander-Arnold not once but twice.
They even suggested that it was ‘really hard to choose’ between Kvaratskhelia and Salah on the night.
That’s high praise for Kvaratskhelia and Liverpool may well have seen that performance last night and ramp up their interest in signing him.
