West Ham allegedly now face strong competition from Chelsea for supremely talented Napoli ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
That’s according to Napoli Magazine who claim that Chelsea are ‘ready to swoop’ in for the 21-year-old winger in the January transfer window.
The Scot may well now have his work cut-out though, with Chelsea boss Graham Potter allegedly ready to bring the young Georgian to Stamford Bridge.
Kvaratskhelia is a real talent and is very highly-rated in the game. He joined Napoli in the summer transfer window for around £8.6 million (Get Football News Italy).
It appears as though he’s already being linked with a high profile exit from Napoli though…
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia claim is great news for Chelsea but terrible for West Ham
According to a report from Napoli Magazine, Chelsea are eyeing up a move to sign the scintillating Napoli attacker in January.
Now, if that is the case, West Ham may well be fighting a losing battle. Chelsea have far superior spending power than us and also have Champions League football on offer at Stamford Bridge.
Missing out on the young Napoli ace to Chelsea would be a big blow for West Ham – he’s an incredibly gifted player.
The 21-year-old winger bagged eight goals and two assists in 11 league games for during a loan spell with Batumi last season (Transfermarkt).
And since joining Napoli, the Georgia international has racked up seven goals and eight assists in 14 outings for the Serie A side so far (Transfermarkt).
The talented youngster has been described as an ‘outstanding talent’ by former USSR international Vladimir Pilguy (MKRU).
Kvaratskhelia can play anywhere along the front-line and possesses unbelievable technique.
The young Georgian is one of the most highly-rated young players on the continent.
With Chelsea now following Khvicha Kvaratskhelia closely, it may well be mission impossible for West Ham though.
