Player Tottenham rejected the chance to sign for Β£20m in 2022 is now close to Β£54.7m PSG move

Tottenham could do with a new forward in this winter transfer window.

Timo Werner is still struggling to impress🦩 at Spurs after Ange Postecoglou publicly criticised the Germany international back in December – while Brennan Johnson also needs to step up in terms of his overall game, despite a respectable tally of 12 goals in 31 appearances so far this season.

TBR Football understand ওTottenham were close to agreeing terms with Randal Kolo Muani🍌 – who PSG are happy to offload this month – although that deal now hangs in the balance with Manchester United and Juventus also keen.

Coincidentally, PSG look set to replace the France international with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – who could have been shining for Tottenhamΰ΅© across the last two years instead of Napoli had Spurs been braver.

Tottenham declined chance to sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for just Β£20m

As confirmed by Christian Emile – a football agent working for CAA Base, who have close ties to Tottenham – 🧜Tottenham and other clubs in England rejected the Georgia international before he found stardom in Naples.

ꦉEmile told Fabrizio Romano: β€œAll those clubs you mentioned were interested in Kvaratskhelia, more so the clubs you heard in the media in Germany, England and Italy. This was true.

πŸ’¦β€œAt that time, Rubin (Kazan) were asking Β£20m… but I think clubs were not so secure to spend this Β£20m in the Covid times, they didn’t have much background information about him because he’s not coming from a big football country.”

βœƒNow – according to – Kvaratskhelia is close to sealing a €65m (Β£54.7m) move to PSG, after scoring 30 goals and providing 29 assists in 107 appearances for Napoli.

🐎14 of those goals – and 17 of those assists – came in the 2022/23 campaign alone, as the Georgian fired Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years.
