Napoli will reportedly look to tie down Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to a new contract in the coming weeks to reward the progress being made by their summer signing.
The Georgian winger has been in scintillating form since joining the Italian club from Dinamo Batumi, scoring eight goals and providing ten assists in all competitions to announce himself to the rest of Europe.
Liverpool learned first-hand as to how dangerous the 21-year-old can be, having gone head-to-head with Napoli in the group stages of the Champions League, as Trent Alexander-Arnold was handed the unwanted task of attempting to thwart the talented forward.

In response to such developments, the Serie A league leaders are now attempting to take action in a bid to fend off potential advances. Despite only signing a five-year contract in the summer, Napoli are keen to extend the stay of the promising youngster past 2027.
