Arsenal Agree On A Deal For This Talented Playmaker: One For The Future? | OneFootball

In a recent report, The Athletic revealed that Arsenal have agreed on a deal for Iberia 1999 playmaker Andria Bartishvili, who is currently on loan from Kolkheti Poti. It has been mentioned that the Gunners are set to sign the Georgian attacker in this summer transfer window.

Bartishvili’s Impressive Rise In English Football

Bartishvili is a product of Dinama Academy and has managed to catch the eye while on loan at Iberia 1999 from Kolkheti Poti. The 17-year-old has already made 24 appearances for the Georgian outfit so far, scoring two times and earned three assists in all competitions.

The Georgian talent is currently among the most gifted attackers in his homeland. Hence, Arsenal have done well to get a deal done for him this summer.

However, Bartishvili is still unproven at the highest level and would need some time to adjust to life in the Premier League. Still, the Gunners deserves credit for agreeing on a deal for him this summer.

Arsenal Agree On A Deal For Bartishvili: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Bartishvili is proficient at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has the vision to create some decent chances for his teammates to find the back of the net and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.

The Georgian talent is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also serve as a winger on either flank if asked to do so. Bartishvili has already added a few goals and assists to his game in Georgian youth football. However, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League when he seals his move to the North London club.

We can expect Bartishvili to add more quality and depth to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta’s frontline in the long run. He has what it takes to be a future starter at the North London club.

At 17, Bartishvili has the potential to be a future star in English football as long as he continues to improve with each year. Furthermore, he has the ceiling to be a world-class player in his position someday. Bartishvili is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the long run. Therefore, Arsenal deserves a ton of credit for snapping him up this summer.
