Arsenal are set to finalise the signing of Georgian teenager Andria Bartishvili with an agreement in place.

Bartishvili has completed a medical with the Premier League champions and is set to sign a long-term contract. The 17-year-old will link up with the North Londoners in 2027, after turning 18.

Bartishvili is a product of the Dinamo Tbilsi youth set-up that produced Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Paris Saint-Germain and Georgia winger who is among the frontrunners for the 2026 Ballon d’Or.

The former has already earned comparisons to Kvaratskhelia, following his performances for Erovnuli Liga club Iberia 1999 in his homeland, on loan from Kolkheti 1913.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the formalities of Arsenal’s move to sign Bartishvili are close to being completed with the Gunners having beaten competition from clubs including Liverpool.
