Tottenham and Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from La Liga club Valencia.
Giorgi Mamardashvili has established himself as a key player for Valencia. And Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign him according to a report from The Athletic.
Aston Villa could lose Emiliano Martinez at the end of the season. The Argentine international has been linked with a move away from the West Midlands club this summer. Martinez won the World Cup earlier this season, and he will look to take the next step in his club career and join a team capable of winning major trophies.
Martinez has been linked with clubs like Chelsea recently. If the World Cup winner decides to leave Aston Villa in the summer, Unai Emery will have to bring in a quality shot stopper, and the Valencia goalkeeper would be a solid long-term investment.
The 22-year-old goalkeeper is highly talented with a big future ahead of him. And he could be the ideal replacement for the Argentine international. Meanwhile, Tottenham have to bring in a quality goalkeeper as well, with Mamardashvili emerging as a target.
Club legend Hugo Lloris has been quite error-prone this season, and his howlers have cost Tottenham valuable points. The North London club will have to sign a quality goalkeeper if they want to compete at the highest level next season. And the Valencia goalkeeper seems like the perfect option for them.
The 22-year-old has helped Valencia pull clear of the relegation zone in La Liga in recent weeks. But Los Che are still not safe from relegation mathematically. Mamardashvili will be hoping to help his side secure their top-flight status for another season before looing to move on in the summer.
The opportunity to play for a Premier League club is likely to be an exciting option for the player and he will be tempted to move on. The Valencia goalkeeper is still quite young and is likely to improve with coaching and experience.
The 22-year-old has the potential to develop into a top-class Premier League goalkeeper in the coming seasons. Both Tottenham and Aston Villa are currently pushing for European qualification, and it remains to be seen whether they can finish the season strongly.
