being unbeaten in 15 matches. This in turn has led to Hamsik praising the Georgian star by saying:

"Kvara has incredible dribbling ease and he is among the best in the world,"

Hamsik told DAZN. 

"It's incredible to see this Napoli team without the three most important players. 

"Everyone needs symbols, someone to represent the club. For the fans, it was a shame [when those players left].

"But I must say it's good how Napoli took players who play great, getting good results like Kim, Kvara, Osi, and also reduced the wage bill."

who is now playing at Trabzonspor in Turkey was once Napoli’s all-time leading goalscorer with 121 goals but now has been overtaken by Insigne (122) and Mertens (148). He opened up about his 12-year stay at Naples and his eventual departure from the club.

"There were teams that wanted me," Hamsik added. "The first was Milan with [Massimiliano] Allegri in 2012, then [Walter] Mazzarri at Inter.

"There was Juve - there were a few calls with [Pavel] Nedved, but I never thought about it.

"I never needed to change. I was happy and renewed five times in 12 years, which is quite a number. The club gave me what I wanted, I was happy, my family too, and the fans loved me more and more."
