Arne Slot responds to Liverpool transfer links for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Arne Slot has refused to accept Liverpool links with Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, insisting “99 out of 100” transfer stories during the January window are unfounded.
The Reds were named in connection with the Georgia international on Thursday night, with the Premier League leaders reportedly ready to act if he leaves the Serie A outfit this month.
With Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo competing for a place on the left side of the front three and Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota also capable of operating in the wide position, Liverpool look well stocked for the role Kvaratskhelia plays for Napoli and Georgia.
While admiration for Kvaratskhelia is said to be long-standing at the club, a move for the 23-year-old was suggested as unlikely by Anfield sources at this stage and Slot quickly sidestepped the question when it was put to him at Friday’s press conference for Preview Accrington Stanley’s visit to the FA Cup on Saturday.
