Olivier Giroud, the undisputed legend of the French national team and the team’s top scorer (137 caps, 57 goals), spoke to Le Parisien about the arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The 28-year-old striker knows him well, having played together in Serie A, and promises great things from his 23-year-old counterpart.
Olivier Giroud “He brings together the whole range of a winger”.
“He’s quite unpredictable, very strong in one-on-one situations, but also altruistic. I like him and he’s going to bring a lot to PSG […] He’s got a lot of personality with the ball, like Ousmane Dembélé, and he’s not afraid to miss. He can lose 9 or 10 duels in a row and still insist, come back to provoke his opponent, even attempt a shot.
It also shows great confidence. He also has incredible physical skills. He’s fast, dexterous and powerful. He combines all the qualities of a winger and, more broadly, of a modern attacking player.“
Even if we had little doubt about the player’s quality, it’s always nice to read so many compliments about a Paris Saint-Germain recruit, especially from a top international striker who has no reason to be complimentary just to please.
Luis Enrique wants hard-working, versatile players, and it would appear that “Kvara” ticks all the boxes! With his transfer now official, we can’t wait. We’re sure he’ll get a warm welcome at the Parc des Princes, certainly when he takes on Reims on Saturday January 25 (19th day of Ligue 1).
