Arsenal are reportedly looking to sign 25-year-old PSG attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the summer transfer window.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is one of the best attacking players in the world right now, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for Arsenal. It is no secret that they need more cutting-edge in the final third. They have invested large sums of money in attacking players at the start of the season, but the new recruits have not been able to live up to the expectations.
According to a report from The Independent, the player’s camp is open to a move to England. However, Arsenal face a massive challenge ahead, as they will have to convince PSG to sell the player. The Ligue 1 champions are unwilling to sanction his departure.
Summer signings have been poor
Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze were expected to add flair and unpredictability in the final third. However, both players have been underwhelming for Arsenal. They need more quality in the wide areas, and signing the Georgian winger could prove ideal.
Madueke has just two goals and an assist in around 900 minutes of Premier League football for Arsenal, whereas Eze has six goals in 1,419 minutes. Apart from the underwhelming numbers, it is clear that Mikel Arteta does not trust them enough to give them regular opportunities.
Kvaratskhelia would be an upgrade
The 25-year-old PSG attacker has 12 goals to his name in all competitions this season, and he has picked up seven assists as well. He is exceptional at taking on defenders and beating them in 1v1 situations.
The Georgian international could add a new dimension to the Arsenal attacking unit, thus justifying their interest. The former Napoli star helped PSG win the league title and the UEFA Champions League last season, and he knows what it takes to compete at the highest level and deliver consistently.
However, Arsenal will likely have to pay a premium to convince PSG in the summer. The fact that the player is open to the move will encourage them. They are well placed to win the Premier League title this season, and it will certainly help them in their pursuit of top players in the summer. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds. Recent reports have stated that Chelsea are also interested in Kvaratskhelia.
