‘Another winger?’, ‘Not needed anymore’ – Man City fans react as Guardiola’s side join queue of clubs chasing “special” £87m-rated star

Manchester City have reportedly sent scouts to monitor Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The £87m-rated Georgian came into the limelight on the back of his impressive debut campaign last season. He played a huge role in ending Napoli’s drought for the Serie A title.

While the team hasn’t been able to reproduce what they did last season, the 22-year-old has still done his bit. And, his impressive performances haven’t gone unnoticed.

Branded as “special” by Jamie Carragher (via CBS Sports Golazo), the Napoli star was scouted by multiple Premier League clubs this international break.

As reported by 90min, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle all sent scouts to follow Kvaratskhelia during Georgia’s 3-1 loss to Spain on Sunday evening, keeping a close eye on the Napoli star.

Other top clubs around Europe are also interested in making a move for the 22-year-old next summer, including Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

City’s scouts would likely have been impressed with what they saw from the 22-year-old as he scored his country’s only goal of the game against a talented Spanish team.

But Napoli have no intention of selling their star and are actually in talks over a 12-month extension which would tie him down until 2028.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

@MCFC__JB: “Another winger?”

@belovedsoobinie: “Not needed anymore, Doku better”

@guynamedjoe_: “Does pep want a starting 11 full of wingers?”

@Cabello17i: “How many left wingers are we gonna buy when we literally need a Right winger more ? Make it make sense”

@AkshatMCFC_47: “Find a Rodri backup man not another winger.”

@tsvvlsb: “We don’t need wingers at all. Jack, Phil, Bernardo, Doku are enough and offer enough variety. We need a proper Rodri back-up and perhaps another creative/working midfielder that can be played if Silva is on the wing. imo”

@CityzenAmerica: “I love Kvaradona. I really really do. But I can’t see this happening. He plays essentially exclusively on the left. And we have Grealish and Doku.”
