      While the likes of Manchester United are circling around hotshot striker Victor Osimhen, Georgian winger Kvaratskhelia has been just as important this season.
      Napoli plucked the 22-year-old from obscurity last summer in a bargain £8.8million deal from Dinamo Batumi in his homeland.
      He has since earned the nicknamed ‘Kvaradona’ – after Napoli most iconic former star Diego Maradona – after scoring 10 goals and provided 9 assists in 19 Serie A matches this season.
      This form has put some of the Premier League’s biggest teams on alert but Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli has dealt interested parties a huge blow.

      The winger has been linked with some of Europe’s biggest sides including Real Madrid, Manchester City and PSG.

      Boss Erik ten Hag is masterminding the downfall of Barcelona ahead of their Europa League second-leg on Thursday, he has them in the fifth round of the FA Cup and they take on Newcastle in the final of the Carabao Cup on Sunday in search of their first trophy since 2017.
      And despite trailing leaders Arsenal by five points and sitting third, the Red Devils are still in the Premier League title race.
      Many would have them as the outsiders to win the top-flight, but ex-England goalkeeper David James believes they will go all the way and punish the recent up-and-down form of the Gunners and second-placed Man City.
      Speaking to The Games Cabin, the 52-year-old said: “It’s so difficult to say and I don’t want to sound like a flag in the wind here, but Manchester United are probably the favourites at the moment to win the league with all the stuttering that Arsenal and Manchester City have been showing in recent weeks.

      “Manchester United just seem to be cruising at the moment, however, as with Arsenal and Manchester City, every team’s run comes to an end, so there’s obviously a chance that Manchester United’s run will come to an end at some point.
      “If that was to happen, then that will put the advantage back with Arsenal and Manchester City, who you’d expect to pick up some good form between now and the end of the season.

      “Essentially, I believe those three teams will be in the top four at the end of the season.”
      United could fall eight points behind Arsenal over the weekend as the Gunners play their game in hand when they travel to Leicester on Saturday.
