West Ham United among ‘most interested’ clubs for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in major summer transfer – report
West Ham United are among the “most interested” clubs in signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this summer, according to Il Mattino.
The Italian outlet report that Leeds United and Napoli are also in the race with things taking a big twist in the past week.
Kvaratskhelia had his contract terminated with Russian club Rubin Kazan, returning to his native Georgia to play his football.
It is a real step down in competition for the 21-year-old, who has really been making waves over the years.
Kvaratskhelia now plays for Dinamo Batumi, which is described as a step backwards to take a leap forward.
The winger is said to like Napoli and many Premier League clubs, with a big move destined to happen this summer.
It looks as though it will be to either Italy or England, with no other possible destination mentioned at this stage.
Perfect.
It looks as though Kvaratskhelia will be available on a free transfer now after the developments in Russia.
Rubin Kazan have missed out on a real windfall in the summer, and this opens the door perfectly for David Gold and Sullivan to step in.
This could be a free transfer for an international up-and-comer, and it would kickstart the summer perfectly.
That would free up funds to go for another striker and potentially an option in the middle of the park at the London Stadium.
