Former Everton scout details interest in Napoli duo Kim Min-Jae and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

A former Everton scout has detailed how Everton were exploring the possibility of signing Napoli stars Kim Min-Jae and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia earlier in their respective careers.

Carlo Jacomuzzi, who had worked with the Toffees in the past, revealed that the club had 'wanted' to sign Min-Jae, while 21-year-old star Kvaratshkelia was also 'evaluated' during his early years. The pair both arrived in Italy over the summer as part of an outstanding summer of recruitment in Naples that also saw Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa signed from Fulham.

Georgian winger Kvaratshkelia already looks set to become one of the most exciting attackers in the world, his eight goals and 10 assists pivotal in helping Luciano Spalletti's side top their Champions League group and lead Serie A with 15 games unbeaten. South Korean centre-back Kim Min-Jae has been equally impressive, catching the eyes of Europe's top clubs in the process.
