Along with Kim Min-jae, Hvitsa Kvarachelia, Napoli's breakout freshman last season, has blown up at the ongoing transfer speculation.
"Kvarachelia is annoyed by reports of Arsenal's transfer interest in him," British media outlet The Mirror reported on Jan. 1 (KST), citing Italian media outlet Il Matino.
Along with Kim Min-jae, Kvarachelia was the best signing of last season. Kim was a force in defense, while Kvarachelia's movement and goals from the second line helped Napoli win their first league title in 33 years.
Their performances drew interest from top teams across Europe. Kim eventually moved to Bayern Munich after just one season.
Kvarachelia was no exception, especially as he 사설토토 was on the radar of deep-pocketed Newcastle United and Arsenal.
If Napoli were to sell Kim Min-jae and then Kvarachelia, they would have an even bigger hole to fill. Napoli are also planning to re-sign Kvarachelia.
