The new Kvaratskhelia is taking Europe by storm: PSG star’s younger brother reveals his dream
PSG star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s younger brother, Tornike, is gradually making a name for himself in European football. The 16-year-old Georgian talent spoke to Marca about his progress, footballing ambitions and the influence of his famous sibling.
Tornike admitted that he dreams of one day playing for the national team alongside Khvicha. His older brother is his biggest role model and source of motivation.
He taught me to work hard for my dream and never give up. He has become a role model for me, the young footballer said.
Tornike also said he understands the extra attention he receives because of his surname, but tries not to let the pressure get to him and instead focuses on his own career.
Tornike’s breakthrough came in a UEFA Youth League match against Copenhagen. Dinamo Tbilisi won 3-0, with the young footballer scoring twice and providing an assist. The Georgians lost the return leg but advanced after a penalty shootout. Their next opponents will be Fiorentina.
Kvaratskhelia currently plays for Dinamo Tbilisi’s first team and under-19 side. He has also already made his debut for Georgia’s U21 national team, despite being only 16.
