Liverpool transfer news recap ‘Private’ Anthony Gordon chats, Kimmich boost

Must read

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been tipped to replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.

The Georgian hit new heights following their record-breaking European Championships campaign and the Napoli attacker has been linked with a move away from the Serie A for a number of months.

The Reds have been mooted in those reports with PSG seemingly holding the firmest interest in his services. While new Napoli boss Antonio Conte will be looking to retain him as they look to challenge for European football again after a turgid title defence last season.

Didi Hamann believes Kvaratskhelia would be brilliant at Anfield. He told Gambling Zone: “I like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, I like him a lot. I read an interview and his dad said that they need to find a solution regarding his future this summer. Everything indicates that he will be leaving Napoli and that his time at the club is coming to an end.

“It’s a great story because nobody heard of him two or three years ago. He turned up at Napoli and wins a Scudetto playing some absolutely brilliant football in a breath-taking season for the club.

“He’s been on an upward curve for the last few years. He was magnificent at this tournament. I loved seeing him on the same field with Ronaldo, who is his idol. He gave him a hug and they had a nice exchange after the game.

“I think I saw a photo of Ronaldo opening a football school in Georgia, and he’s in it as a young kid.

“He’s a guy who makes people go to the ground. He’s a player that people will pay money to watch. When you walk to a ground on a Saturday, it’s players like him that people talk about; that people want to see. He gets bums off seats.

“He’s a very humble guy. He’d be brilliant at Liverpool, and, if you’re talking about Salah replacements, then he’s probably as close to a perfect replacement that Liverpool could find.”
