Tottenham Hotspur, and sporting director Fabio Paratici by extension, now want to sign Napoli rising star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to reports from Italy.

The Lowdown: Kvaratskhelia dazzles...

The Georgia international has been making waves in Italy's top flight this season, attracting interest from a host of Premier League clubs.

Kvaratskhelia has scored eight goals, with a further eight assists across his Serie A and Champions League appearances for Napoli this season, owing to his phenomenal potential.

The 21-year-old is currently the Azzurri's best-performing player by average match rating, completing more dribbles per 90 than any of his team-mates and making a real name for himself with the runaway Serie A leaders.

The Latest: Spurs now want Kvaratskhelia...

Headed by club transfer chief Paratici, it is now believed that Spurs really like Kvaratskhelia as the north Londoners eye potential signings for manager Antonio Conte.

Calciomercato claim that Napoli are aware of the 'threat' from England over their star winger, with Tottenham mentioned as being big fans of the player alongside Liverpool.

The Verdict: Exciting talent...

Called 'unplayable' and a 'superstar in the making' by sections of the Italian media, Kvaratskhelia's stock has risen in dramatic fashion, although he will cost a marquee fee.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has reportedly placed a whopping €100m (£88m) price tag on the winger's head to ward off potential suitors.

Chairman Daniel Levy would need to shatter Tottenham's current transfer record for the 19-cap winger, and this alone could make him unattainable for Spurs in the winter.
