Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has praised 21 year old Napoli forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as a special player.

Ancelotti added that he has been monitoring the Georgian winger during his time as Napoli manager.

Kvaratskhelia has taken the football world by storm with his performances this season. He has scored five goals and provided three assists in ten matches for Napoli across competitions.

Ancelotti told Rai Sport (via HITC): “It’s difficult to predict today what they can do, certainly the newcomers have made the team unpredictable.

“Is Kvaratskhelia a surprise? For those who didn’t know him, we were already following him when I was at Napoli. He is a special player.”

Napoli signed the 21-year-old from FC Dinamo Batumi earlier this summer for just €12 million on a five-year deal.
