Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur and Napoli are reportedly the frontrunners to sign Rubin Kazan winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this summer.

The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the brightest talents to have emerged from Georgia, and his performances for club and country are believed to have caught the eye of a number of European clubs.

Kvaratskhelia has scored two goals and provided five assists in 19 games for Kazan this season, but earlier this month he was given special leave to join Georgian champions Dinamo Batumi on loan, amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

According to Il Mattino, via Sport Witness, the winger has told Kazan that he does not want to return to Russia and that he is hoping to switch clubs ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

The report adds that Premier League duo Leeds and Spurs, as well as Serie A outfit Napoli, are 'above all' the other interested clubs at present.

Kvaratskhelia could be viewed as a replacement for Leeds' star attacker Raphinha, who has been strongly linked with Barcelona in recent weeks.
