Napoli Star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Contract Talks Could Provide Boost

It would be a fair statement to say Napoli's season has been nothing short of a train wreck. Long since out of the title race and having the worst defence of any Serie A title in the three-points-per-win era, it's been a season to forget for the Partenopei. The 23-year-old hasn't hit the heights of his first season in Italy when, arriving as a more or less unknown quantity, he tore the league to shreds with his unorthodox trickery and school-boy qualities. In a world of banal wingers who all play the same and give the impression they were all produced in the same football factory, Kvaratskhelia was a throwback to a different age; a time when wingers were wingers and not forwards.
