'Good player': What Jurgen Klopp has previously said about Kvicha Kvaratskhelia amid Liverpool links

Today at 05:45 AM

Liverpool weren't all that active in the summer transfer window, but they could be set to make a blockbuster signing in January.

Indeed, Liverpool's only major signing this summer was Federico Chiesa, an exciting winger from Serie A, and the Reds could repeat that trick in this transfer window too.

Liverpool are now interested in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and that is a very exciting rumour to say the least.

Kvaratskhelia is an exciting player. In fact, Jamie Carragher said he was the most exciting player in Europe at one point.

Carragher isn't the only Liverpool legend to have sounded his appreciation for Kvaratskhelia in the past either.

Jurgen Klopp is also a fan of the player, and he spoke highly of the attacker when Liverpool faced Napoli in the Champions League a few years ago.

Jurgen Klopp's praise for Kvaratskhelia

Klopp spoke incredibly highly of Kvaratskhelia in his press conference after a game against Napoli.

The German claimed that the winger is a cheeky player who makes things really difficult for his opponent, praising Trent Alexander-Arnold for his performance in this match.

"He has speed, he is cheeky, he goes inside, he can go outside, that makes it always really difficult," Klopp said.

"A good player and I thought Trent played a really good game against him, he was really on fire, he was really in, didn't get frustrated by one or two situations where he was second-best, stayed in the game and I liked Trent's game tonight."

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia stats vs Liverpool

Klopp was seemingly a fan of Kvaratskhelia during his time as Liverpool manager, and it's not hard to understand why.

Indeed, just weeks before Klopp made these comments, in the first fixture between Napoli and Liverpool, Kvaratskhelia tore the Reds to shreds.

Liverpool lost 4-1 to Napoli in their away game, and Kvaratskhelia ran the show for the Italian outfit.

The Georgian's stats from that game were simply incredible.

Kvaratskhelia has already shown Liverpool what he is capable of, and while his form may have dipped slightly since that incredible 2022/23 season, the winger is still an electric player who would bring an exciting new dynamic to this Liverpool side.

Jurgen Klopp may no longer be the manager of Liverpool, but this would potentially be a deal that the former Liverpool manager would approve of.

Kvaratskhelia to Liverpool could be one of the most exciting transfers of the winter window.
