A former Scout von Arsenal has announced that Gunners used to give the opportunity to sign the opportunity to sign the Saint Germain Star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Kvaratskhelia, an £ 70 million that signed Napoli in January, played a dazzling role in PSG semi-final triumph from PSG via Arsenal after trying the Serie-A-Ruhm with the Partenopei in his first season in his first season.
However, his career could have looked so different. The former Arsenal -Scout Tomasz Pasieczny admitted to follow Kvaratskhelia in the early phases of his career, as Rubin Kazan and Dinamo Batumi only for a particularly overwhelming performance to recommend it to recommend the wing.
“I was in the old stadium in Kazan to a match with Dynamo Moscow Weszlo. “Khvicha came from the bank, made two completely unsuccessful dribbling and the fans reacted very negatively. He could not handle it at this stage.
“Every next step was bad, from start to finish.
“With big clubs and longer observations, they often see a player and they do not make a decision based on a report. They follow their development because they know that something can come out of it, but it is not as if someone was going to a top team directly from Kazan. Everyone knew that they would be very good, but they wondered how good it would be.
“At this stage, however, I had to write what it is like, draw conclusions and write where the problems are.”
Kvaratskhelia left Russia in March 2022 to join Batumi in his home country of Georgia, but he was in motion just a few months later when Napoli took the risk and paid a fee of around £ 10 million to sign the winger this summer.
In his first season in Naples, he won the MVP Prize from Serie A and has become strength from strength since then. This is an essential part of a PSG attack line that the Champions League trophy is to lift this month later.
In the meantime, Arsenal opened the Brazilian winger Marquinhos in the summer of 2022 before spraying Leandro Trossard in the middle of the following campaign.
