On Sky Sports, punditJamie Carragher noted that Brighton & Hove Albion standout Kaoru Mitoma reminds him of Kvaratskhelia, who Carragher saw eliminate his former club Liverpool.
“He’s just a class player,” Carragher said. “And I was thinking of the lad who moved to PSG—I’m going to try and pronounce his name [Kvaratskhelia]. But [Mitoma] looksthat type of player; just the first touch kills the ball. I’m sure he’ll be involved later on. We’re looking atgoal of the season as well for the one that he got—I think it was against Chelsea.
“It’s just, when you see him control a ball and the ball gets switched to a wide player, I don’t think there are many wide players in the Premier League whose first touch matches his. He definitely made a huge difference when he’d come in. He’s been a brilliant player for them for two or three years.”
