‘A very big thank you to everyone for the congratulations,’ he wrote.
🚨🔴⚪️ BREAKING: Andria Bartishvili has completed his medical as a Arsenal FC new player. 🩺✅
The 17-year-old Georgian talent is set to put pen to paper on a 5-year deal with AFC tomorrow. ✍🏻🇬🇪
Arsenal will be hopeful Bartishvili can replicate the rise of his countryman Kvaratskhelia, who emerged as one of the best wingers in world football following his rise at Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain.
In June, former France and Bayern Munich defender Willy Sagnol – now in charge of the Georgian national team – picked Bartishvili out as a special talent.
But Sagnol was keen to stress that talent alone was not a gurantee of the young star making it to the highest level.
‘I watched the youth team play, Bartishvili is a very talented player,’ Sagnol explained.
‘However, for a talented player to take a step forward in his career, technique alone is not enough.
‘The right mindset is needed, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is an example of this.
‘Hopefully, Andria and the other young players will continue to work and develop to become great players in the future.’
Arsenal have made a number additions of their academy this summer with Igor Tyjon, Vincent Joseph, Axel Donczew, Elijah Upson and Mylo Bernard joining the ranks.
