Liverpool followers have been made to attend all summer time lengthy for any signal of a primary senior summer time signing.
It’s not been an inactive window from Richard Hughes and Co., let’s be clear. A transfer for teenage prodigy Alvin Ayman was formally accomplished immediately, with the previous Wolves starlet following within the footsteps of Rio Ngumoha in signing for the membership’s Academy.
While Giorgi Mamardashvili is within the works, it’s not fairly the addition (given the character of the potential deal) to get followers on their toes.
A possible late swoop within the window for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – as Pete O’Rourke has tipped the Reds to do at Soccer Insider – nevertheless, would completely tick that field.

Who else is inquisitive about Kvaratskhelia?
If reviews are to be believed, Chelsea, Manchester Metropolis, Manchester United and Newcastle (90Min) have all proven curiosity within the winger’s providers.
That shouldn’t shock anybody, in fact, given the profile of the participant and the standard of his contributions lately.
The ambidextrous extensive man (who can play on each flanks) registered 20 objective contributions in 45 appearances (throughout all competitions) regardless of Napoli’s general drop-off amid a title defence. Notably, that haul was 31 objective contributions robust in 43 video games (throughout all competitions) the prior time period.
A signing that makes extra sense than Anthony Gordon?
With completely no disrespect meant to the Newcastle United extensive man, signing Kvaratskhelia would align extra cleanly with Liverpool’s perfect switch targets.
We’ve seen there’s a clear curiosity in bolstering the left flank with a prime younger winger, although we’ve been left considerably astonished by the obvious unwillingness to seek out cowl for Mo Salah on the opposing facet. Significantly given the Egyptian’s phrases are nonetheless set to run out in 2025.
Signing the Napoli star, although that’s removed from a assure at this stage, would enable us to tick each bins within the occasion our No.11 is pressured off halfway via the marketing campaign with an damage.
We nonetheless reckon any transfer for the Serie A attacker is extremely unlikely to happen this summer time. Although, we’d welcome being confirmed flawed on that entrance.
