Reports from Italy have claimed that Chelsea have made an enquiry over potentially signing Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
According to Il Mattino, the Blues have considered making a bid for the 22-year-old this summer.
It’s safe to say it has been one hell of a breakout season for Kvaratskhelia this year, in what has been equally remarkable for his club.
Napoli were recently crowned Champions of Italy after a dominant campaign domestically.
They were led by the Georgian and fellow attacker Victor Osimhen, who has also not escaped links to Europe’s elite sides.
One of these has been Chelsea, who are reportedly looking for a striker to satisfy potential new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
However, it is the Nigerian’s teammate they are now being reported to being linked with, as they potentially assess strengthening the rest of their attack.
Chelsea want Kvaratskhelia
Thierry Henry has already claimed to be a massive fan of the attacker, describing his impact as ‘crazy’.
The club already invested heavily in January in looking to improve the strength in their wide areas for the foreseeable future.
They brought in Mykhailo Mudryk for big money from under the noses of Arsenal, whilst also completing a deal to sign England U21 winger Noni Madueke.
It is arguable that the latter has had the biggest impact in recent weeks, opening his account for the club with a consolation goal against Arsenal.
Any more signings in those areas would likely further dampen the progress made with those young stars, which interim boss Frank Lampard has already warned will certainly not happen overnight.
Instead, the Blues should focus their attentions on his teammate, Osimhen. Unless Romelu Lukaku is given a dramatic second chance of his second spell at the club next season, it is likely a goalscorer will be high on the agenda for this summer.
They haven’t come much more prolific than the 24-year-old this year.
