What this kid's deal? Looks far, far too good for the league he's in, but is that YouTube showreeling at work?
Anyone know anything about him?
Much much better than @LuckyScout78He was at Rubin Kazan for a couple of seasons with Kvaratskhelia, when Khvicha started picking up some hype. Played CM, and was acknowledged as an important new signing when they had a good 20/21 season, but i don't remember him looking anything notable in the games i watched, other than a great long-range goal against Lokomotiv. At least not in a European competing club in a top league way, just a tidy Kristoffer Olsson type. Looking at the top 33 for that season( a best 3 per position rating ), i notice he didn't make it when five other Rubin players did, with Kvaratskhelia and Makarov in the starting 11.
That team fell apart in 21/22 with almost everyone playing bad, including a humiliating defeat against much poorer Rakow Czestochowa in the Conference League 3rd round qualifiers. They ended up relegated, though to be fair he was injured after the winter break, and took no part in the last run of defeats that sent them down.
as i said, he didn't make much impression on me, though i was only watching occasionally to see if Kvara was good.
