So far this season, Kvaratskhelia has scored five goals in 26 Appearances while also provide six Assists for his teammates.

Diego Simeone even said the youngster is as good as Joao Felix, a player Atlético Madrid pays £113 million sign from Benfica.

That’s very high praise, to say the least – especially from someone with Simeone’s reputation.

Aurelio De Laurentiis – President of Napoli – also confirmed the signing of Kvaratskhelia live on Radio KKN.

Arsenal, Tottenham & Leeds missed a jewel

In our opinion Arsenal, Tottenham and Leeds should be disappointed after missing out on the Georgian prodigy.

Georgia isn’t known for producing jewels, although the Tbilisi-born striker has the potential to become a superstar at Napoli.

Kvaratskhelia has been described as an “extraordinary” player and a “genius” in the past – it was Irakli Khvelediani, a Georgian football agent, who made those comments.

He’s also been compared to Dutch legend Arjen Robben, which gives you a good idea of ​​how the prodigy performs on the wings.

Of course, Arsenal, Tottenham and Leeds could have other options to sign Kvaratskhelia in the future.

However, a five-year contract is as safe as can be. So if he fulfills his huge potential at Napoli, the Premier League trio would have to pay a fortune.
