Arsenal wants to draw from PSG, an announced target


The Parc des Princes has regained its genius. After a sluggish month of February where the Parisian collective seemed to be marking time physically, particularly against Monaco, the light returned from one man: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Unbearable, the Georgian literally carried Paris on his shoulders in the Champions League. Executioner of Chelsea with a double on the first leg and a lightning opening score on the return, the former Neapolitan pushed Désiré Doué to the bench to find a starting place.

This sparkling form has not escaped the radar of the Premier League. According to the British press, a strong contender has decided to go on the offensive: Arsenal. In search of a world-class winger to take a definitive step forward, Mikel Arteta has reportedly made the Parisian “Kvaradona” his top priority for next summer. The Spanish technician sees in him the missing piece of his offensive puzzle.

A file impossible to complete?

However, the London dream could be crushed by the reality of the market. Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has cast a huge damper on the Gunners’ hopes. Despite Arsenal’s insistence, dislodging the Georgian from Paris is today a utopia. Arriving last year for more than 70 million euros, the 25-year-old player is considered untransferable by Parisian management.

If you ask me if there is any interest, the answer is obviously yes. For Arsenal, for example, he would probably be the ideal player, the perfect winger. But at this stage, it’s really very complicated,” Romano told AFC News Room. Under contract until 2029, the Georgian magician seems well on his way to continuing to ignite the Porte d’Auteuil, leaving Arsenal facing a file that is almost impossible to complete.
