Reports suggest that Arsenal is contemplating an audacious move for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the talented 22-year-old attacker from Napoli and Georgia. Kvaratskhelia gained immense attention during Napoli's triumphant journey to the Serie A title last season, contributing with an impressive tally of 14 goals and 17 assists from 43 matches in all competitions.

Notably, Kvaratskhelia's 13 assists in the Italian top flight were unmatched, earning him various individual honors alongside the Scudetto. His outstanding performances led to him being named the Serie A MVP and Young Player of the Season in the Champions League, where he registered two goals and four assists in nine games, propelling Napoli to the quarter-finals.

Despite Napoli acquiring him for a modest €11.5m (£9.9m) from Rubin Kazan just last year, the English Premier League is now showing keen interest. Newcastle United and Manchester City were previously linked with the winger, but Arsenal has now emerged as a contender in the race for his signature.

Arsenal believes they have a shot at securing the deal, partly due to their positive relationship with Napoli's new sporting director Mauro Meluso, who played a role in recommending the January signing of Jakub Kiwior from Spezia. Additionally, Arsenal's hopes are bolstered by the likelihood of Napoli's star striker Victor Osimhen staying in Naples, freeing up space for negotiations.

However, it should be noted that Arsenal has faced rejection in their previous attempts to acquire Kvaratskhelia, and Napoli remains steadfast in their determination to retain the young talent, at least for the time being.
