Khvicha Kvaratskhelia stance on Arsenal transfer revealed after approach for PSG star

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would consider a move to Arsenal with the Premier League leaders considering a bid to sign the winger from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.

PSG signed Kvaratskhelia in a €70 million (£59m) deal from Napoli in January last year and the 25-year-old made an immediate impact in the French capital as he helped the club win the domestic league and cup double alongside the Champions League.

The Georgia international has been in excellent form this season with 12 goals and seven assists as PSG aim to retain their Ligue 1 and Champions League titles.

According to The Independent, Arsenal are ‘investigating’ a deal for Kvaratskhelia as they view the winger as someone who can add ‘individual creativity’ to their attack.

The report adds that Kvaratskhelia’s entourage are ‘open to the idea’ of a move to Arsenal and are willing to consider their options this summer.

PSG, however, are said to regard Kvaratskhelia, who has three years remaining on his contract, as a ‘near-unsellable’ player.

Speaking earlier this month, Kvaratskhelia made it clear that he remains happy at PSG.

‘For me, Paris is truly extraordinary,’ Kvaratskhelia told Le Parisien.

‘You have everything here, and above all, this is the city of love. When PSG contacted me, I thought my wife was the happiest person in the world.

‘Before PSG contacted me, she always said, ‘Imagine if one day we play for PSG, it would be amazing to stay there.’

‘In my mind, I think it’s very difficult to go there when there are great players like [Lionel] Messi, Neymar and [Kylian] Mbappe. I love everything about Paris. The more I think about it, the more I appreciate how respectful the people are there.’
