Arsenal and Liverpool are both chasing highly rated Georgian teenager Andria Bartishvili, with the 17-year-old midfielder emerging as one of the more intriguing young names on the European transfer radar.

Bartishvili, currently on loan at Iberia 1999 from Kolkheti Poti, has already made 35 senior appearances despite his age. Reports had suggested Arsenal were close to sealing a £4.5million deal, but Bartishvili has since appeared to deny that any agreement is in place.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s rise has changed how Europe views the country’s talent pool, and Bartishvili is already being watched through that lens. Bartishvili is expected to make a final decision after his club's upcoming European qualifiers.
