Arsenal and Manchester City have reportedly taken the front seat in the chase for Georgian teenager Vakhtang Salia.
According to HITC, an intense race is brewing in the background for Georgian teenager Vakhtang Salia. Arsenal and Manchester City are keen on the 16-year-old Liverpool-linked attacking prodigy, with the Premier League duo understandably ahead in the race.
Vakhtag Salia in high demand
A certain Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has elevated Georgian football and put it on the European map. The winger was instrumental in helping Napoli win the Serie A title last season and was named the player of the season in the Italian top flight. This has led Georgian clubs, especially the attacker’s former side Dinamo Tbilisi, to develop better talents, and they may have already come up with one.
Vakhtang Salia, the 16-year-old Liverpool-linked attacking prodigy, has been that player and has attracted massive interest from top clubs. Apart from the Merseysiders, Arsenal and Manchester City are joining the hunt, with the duo considered front runners for the teenager.
Arsenal and Manchester City are two of the top three teams in the Premier League on current form and have made steady efforts to improve their youth ranks. Hence, they are on the lookout for young prodigies and will want to develop them into first-team stars in the future.
Both sides are looking to trump each other for the front seat for Salia, with Dinamo Tbilisi looking to make a handsome profit from a potential sale in the summer. Whether both clubs can sign him immediately remains the question due to Brexit rules, but Man City could always loan him out to other clubs to aid his development, with Man City already having a presence in major leagues across Europe.
More interested clubs in Salia
Not only are the three most prominent clubs in England interested, but many other sides within the Premier League are keen on Salia. Chelsea and Tottenham keep constant tabs, looking for prodigious talents to grace their youth ranks.
Similarly, continental clubs, mainly from Spain, are heavily interested. Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona are all keen. PSG, Juventus, and Bayern Munich are also present in the race, making Salia one of the most sought-after teenagers in the continent.
