Khvicha Kvaratskhelia says he hopes Paris Saint-Germain are drawn against Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League so he can play against his former Napoli team-mate Victor Osimhen.

The Georgia international and Osimhen helped Napoli win the championship together, but have not yet met as opponents since leaving the Italian club.

Kvaratskhelia was asked about the Nigeria striker and praised Osimhen’s all-round qualities.

“Osimhen is truly a fantastic striker. He runs, presses, shoots, heads the ball, and sometimes even makes unexpected assists,” Kvaratskhelia said, according to BSNSports.com.ng.

“We won a really beautiful championship in Naples together with him, but we haven't faced each other as opponents yet (laughing). Of course, I'd love to play against him.”

Kvaratskhelia moved to Paris Saint-Germain after his time at Napoli, while Osimhen is at Galatasaray. A meeting between the two clubs in Europe would give the pair the chance to renew their partnership as rivals.

The 24-year-old said he would particularly like the fixture to take place at Galatasaray’s stadium, having been impressed by the club’s support during the current Champions League campaign.

“Especially at Galatasaray's stadium. This year, I watched Galatasaray in the Champions League, and at their home, they really did incredible things, and they have a fantastic fan group,” he said.

Kvaratskhelia added that he had watched videos of Osimhen celebrating victories on Instagram and had gained a better understanding of the striker’s decision to join Galatasaray.

“I also had the chance to watch Osimhen's celebrations on his Instagram account. There's truly an amazing atmosphere there. I understand better now why Osimhen chose that place.”
