"Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will be an unfamiliar name to many people, but he poses a huge threat to Liverpool. He is a young player who has made an enormous impact since joining Napoli in the summer," Rafa Benitez told The Times.
"Speaking to some friends in Italy over the weekend, they said to me that he is the best player in Italy right now. Other people might put forward different players, but what everyone can agree on is how well Kvaratskhelia has taken to Serie A.
"He has been playing as a winger from the left, but he can use both feet, he can dribble on both flanks, he can give passes and he can finish. He has pace and he wants to make his mark in matches.
"At the weekend, he scored the winning goal against Lazio in Napoli’s 2-1 success. That was his fourth goal in five appearances. At 21, he is clearly an excellent talent and that he is doing so well so soon after moving to Italy highlights his mentality."
The 21-year-old quickly made Napoli fans forget Lorenzo Insigne. He joined the Italian side from Georgian team Dinamo Batumi on a €12m fee this summer.
Kvaratskhelia plays on the left side so Trent should be very cautious on Wednesday night.
