Arsenal sign Georgian teenager Bartishvili as Martinelli nears £60m Al-Hilal move

Arsenal are finalizing the signing of 17-year-old Georgian winger Andria Bartishvili, who arrived in London on Wednesday for his medical after agreeing a five-year deal worth £3.85m. The teenager, dubbed 'the next Khvicha Kvaratskhelia', will not join the first team until March 2027. Bartishvili, who can play as a winger or creative midfielder, was pursued by Juventus and Liverpool before choosing Arsenal. Meanwhile, the club is close to confirming Gabriel Martinelli's £60m transfer to Al-Hilal, a record sale for the Gunners. Martinelli, who completed his medical and will sign a four-year contract, helped Arsenal win the FA Cup, Premier League, and Community Shield three times, scoring 62 goals in 278 appearances. Saudi clubs can finalize deals until September 6.
