Geo Team have shared exclusive images on their Instagram page of 17-year-old Andria Bartishvili on his way to London to complete his move to Arsenal from Kolkheti 1913.

The Georgian football outlet reports that Bartishvili is travelling for his medical, after which he’ll sign a five-year contract with the Gunners.

Per previous reports, that contract won’t come into effect until next year, as the plan is for the player to officially join the club once he turns 18 in March 2027.

Bartishvili has already shared a message of thanks to everyone commenting on his Arsenal move, writing on Instagram: “A very big thank you to everyone for the congratulations”

Arsenal won the race for Bartishvili amid strong competition for the player’s signature, with Liverpool and Juventus also reportedly interested.

Arsenal’s Maurizio Micheli drove the club’s move, recently attending one of Bartishvili’s matches for loan club Iberia against Flora in a Champions League qualifier. It seems he’s now succeeded in getting the deal over the line.

Bartishvili is often listed as an attacking midfielder on websites covering his career so far, but he has a clear preference for the left-hand side and arguably ends up acting more like a left-winger a lot of the time.

The Georgia u21 international has two goals and three assists in his 24 games for current loan club Iberia 1999, with all of those goal contributions coming since he broke into the starting lineup at the start of May.

Bartishvili has also played for the Georgia u16s, u17s, u19s, and u21s in his young career, scoring two goals in two games for the u19s in June.
