Arsenal Secures 17-Year-Old Georgian Forward Andria Bartishvili on Pre-Contract

Arsenal have announced a pre‑contract agreement to sign 17‑year‑old Georgian striker Andria Bartishvili, who will join the Premier League club in July 2027. The deal, revealed on the club’s official website on Friday, is contingent on the completion of regulatory procedures. Bartishvili, who will turn 18 before his move, is expected to develop within Arsenal’s academy and potentially contribute to the first team in the coming years. The signing reflects the club’s ongoing strategy of recruiting promising young talent from overseas. The player will be eligible to register with the club once he reaches the age of majority and all paperwork is approved.
